Pooh-Bah Post: Table Selection and Regulars (Why Im not at ur tables)

I think this depends on your goals in poker. Most of the regulars at stakes like $200, for example, are just really not good at all and have serious flaws in their game. Obviously not even remotely close to the flaws of fish / donks / etc. But refusing to learn to exploit players who aren't completely terrible seems like a good way to stunt your growth as a player and potential for improvement / moving through the stakes. Table selection at small stakes seems likely, for most, to maximize short term results but harm your potential long term results.

Obviously this is a very valid point. I think this ties into bankroll aswell. For instance, I've recently moved to SSNL from micros. Right now, I'm continuing to build my roll and adjust to the stakes, so stacking fish is helping that tremendously. I'm planning on staying clear of GOOD regs until I have more buyins to deal with the variance and my learning curve of how to deal with them.
