You can't take the approach of, "well that's a scary flop so I'm going to fold because I know someone has a 10". You have to worry about getting your money in smart and taking down the pot, if that means over betting it to win a small pot then you do that, or maybe it means play passive so you don't donate chips to a loose player if they end up hitting. The key to poker is adjusting to the game you're playing and take advantage.
Play to the idea of things rather than the cards---yes.
