Table Selection Advice - What Do You Look For?

[ticks]

The money moves clockwise in poker,
so I like to have a few big stacks on my right.
Apart from that I look for tables with few shortstacks,
and high average potsize.

I like tables with deepstacks and Hi Avg. pots. I also will run a few sites at the same time in order to have better selection when multitabling.

1. Atleast 3 of the 5 other players need to be loose (>35% vpip - the higher they are the more turned on i get!).

2. Deep stacks. I wish I could sort on median stack size. I want atleast 3 of the 5 other players with stacks atleast 80BB. The higher the better.

3. Avg pot size. This changes a lot based on if there was one or two huge hands recently, so mainly avoiding very small avg pot size rather than looking for very high.

Exceptions:

1. I don't mind sometimes having 3 tight players if they are all right after me and will fold to my pf rz or rrz almost every time, so I can steal a lot of pots on the flop in late position with marginal hands.



In general I sit and play a few hands before GameTtime gets the stats up, so I play a little cautiously for those first few hands. After the stats are up if it's a crap table I look for a new one pretty quickly. I spend a fair bit of time looking for good tables when I start a session of poker. It's a pain in the arse, but pays off very well.


This is purely to win more money. If you want to get good at 'poker' then I would suggest playing most any opponents and learn to read each one and exploit their individual games.
