maybe i'll get this in under the wire:

in limit seat selection=game selection. you find the guy who's money you want and sit to his left.

there's also the handy little shorthand of looking at stack sizes. absurdly large or small stacks tend to equal bad players worthy of targeting.

In nl, i've noticed that people tend to jump tables when they bust, and stack sizes are obv more fluid than in limit.

so the question is, in nl do you revert to game selection (avoiding good players) as opposed to seat selection (targeting bad players before sitting down). are there any shorthanded non hud techniques, or am i going to need hands on dudes? what compels you to sit? what compels you to get up? how aggressively to do you seat select or table select?

thx!

I table select "sort of". Stats can be really deceiving, you'll have some guy with 22/16 stats and they are just hopeless. I keep a sort of "reverse buddy list" where I'll look out for people who are a real pain in the ass and just avoid them. FWIW there are only 2 non 2p2 people on that list. I generally avoid 2p2'ers just because its high variance to play against them and its easier to take someone elses money.

Generally I just sit at random tables and if there is someone giving me real trouble then I'll move. I usually choose my tables based on average pot size, the bigger the better.
