Default Re: Talk to me about table selection

It's hard for someone else to tell you what's the best game for you. Some players are best in aggressive games, some in passive ones.

My experience is LHE---
Generally, a table with >30-35% of players seeing the flop is pretty loose.

Look at pot size combined with that number to determine aggression. If 2 players average to the flop, but the average pot is like 20 BB, then watch your ass.

Basing your judgement only on pot size is a bad idea...a table full of experts will often boast some pretty big pots, because almost all experts are extrememly aggressive.

Check out Gary Carson's book for a great discussion about game and seat selection.

Hope this helps.
