Joining a new table?

[kak1154]

Am I the only one who doesn't like to play at a newly formed table? I feel like people are so cautious at new tables, just feeling each other out. They (presumably) just got there, so they are fresh. There are no donks with deep stacks. Everyone just met, so they aren't very lively, joking around, etc. which makes people play worse.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Advantages, disadvantages? Discuss....
