If your game selection consists solely of putting yourself on the waitlists of the tables with the biggest avg pots/highest% to the flop, your game selection sucks.

Guess what I do, and have done the whole time I've played poker

get poker tracker - setup to import observed hands - they are stored in files in the party root directory normally c:\program fiiles\party poker\ and can be read with a text editor.

Without poker tracker or another anlaysis tool, data stays data and never reaches the dizzy heights of information.

I have pokertracker, and I don't see where the observed hands are saved at Party. What is the file called? Where is it saved? Is it a temporary file in the Program Files/PartyPoker/ or something? Do I set up their import in the Auto-Import set up or what? Still confused

Yeah, it has a .hhf extension and they are wiped out when you close Party down. Use the auto import feature that is designed for party in poker tracker not the default one. It has an observed hand import feature. Really though, go the poker tracker website or open the help and search for observed hands party. All will become clear and better explained than I can do here.

The bottom line is that speculative hands fluctuate in value depending on the player you are playing them against.

I am guilty of not paying enough attention to this, thanks for pointing it out.

So wait, should I have a list of marks and play them even if the other table conditions (pot size, vp$ip) are unfavorable?

You don't necessarily need to make a list, but rather recognize them. On average, tables with lower VPIP's and lower avg pot sizes will be less profitable, but don't let that sway you from sitting down if you see a ripe seat to the direct left of a very weak player.

First of all, a solid player's opening range is going to be such that every time you flop your set, he will not necessarily have a strong enough hand to pay you off. Say he raises KQ and the flop comes J75. You aren't going to win much off him. Remember, that you have to plan on getting 50 big blinds worth of his stack in the middle just to BREAK EVEN on your small pocket pair.

This is my favourite bit - but isnt mentioned often anywhere else as far as I know. While this is great advice, its also a great arguement for having wide-range raising values preflop yourself.

Overall, a careful player with KQo and a preflop raise will make a killing against a tight set-peddlar with a pocket pair.
