One thing that I look for in a table is PREDICTABLE opponents...this is important. I have quite a few players who i have a simple comment on such as "Dont bluff, do value bet" and "Bet = HAND".

On the other hand, i try and avoid tough spots against LAGs. Yes thats right gentemen, if Ive got a marginal hand and LAG checks to me on the turn there are spots when you can check and snap off a bluff. You can also call down LAGs with made hands that could be beat....trust me, LAGs hate that! And further more you can avoid expensive 3 bets. OziBattler

I love this post. Just what I've been thinking about recently at FTP. I'm trying to adjust to opponents now and not expect them to adjust to me. I'm working on solid reads and seat (OPPONENT) selection. Your comment about predictible opponents is key IMO.

Normally you want loose tables, but these loose players may react to the constant aggression by bluffing more. Not good. You could actually be better off in a tight predictable table at times.
