One thing I've noticed is that 400nl seems to be the level where table selection really starts to get important. While there were good and bad tables at 100/200nl, there weren't many tables where a decent player couldn't hold his own. But at 400nl some tables are full of 27/20 types who never let you open a pot and are real tough.

I find table selection is overrated. If you want to show a nice short term profit, then yes, good selection skills are very useful. But if you want to get a good long term profit, you need to improve and move up. Nothing does that better than sitting down with a bunch of 27/20 regulars.

Eh, not sure I agree. It's not like when you practice good table selection you're at a table full of 75/10 donators. There will still be tough TAGs and you will still play pots with them. There's really just no reason, imo, to stay at table where everyone is a good player. The amount that it improves your play is less than the value of the money you could make elsewhere (and more money = moving up, more play at higher limits, etc.).
