[Mendacious]

This is why I posted my question. I know that there is conventional wisdom to what you say, however, I tend to favor Mute's advice. Here's why. (Close cousin to "Do you see why")

I question to what degree Greenstein's advice applies to online poker. In this instance, none of the tables I was playing at was particularly juicy. They were pretty standard table composition-- much the same as I would find everyday with many of the same players. There was not a particular "fish" or plural "fishes" giving away money, I simply caught good cards If I thought I was sitting at a juicy table I wouldn't have even considered leaving. I don't think I was leaving a big score on the tables.

That said, I agree that this mentality is a weakness-- however, perhaps one that it is better to play around in some online situations where favorable conditions are constantly shifting around and realigning themselves on different tables, in a way that does not happen in live poker.
