opponent selection
I'm a relatively new player. My BB/100 is right about at 1 after 15,000 hands of playing 3/6 and 5/10 6-max tables.
Generally to this point when selecting tables I've generally just focused on finding the loosest tables possible. Lately I've been starting to wonder (as my BB/100 has shrunk from as high as 2 down to the current 1) if searching for players with low aggression factors might be more profitable. It seems when I get to be table bully, I win. My aggression rating is 1.9. However, when I sit down with multiple people with ratings of 2, 3 and higher, I tend to lose more. Is this standard, or is it more of a function of one's own style? What am I failing to adjust for against the hyper-aggressive players? My other stats so far: VPIP- 25.26 VPIP from SB-34.24 FoldSBtoSteal-72.14 FoldBBtoSteal-60.62 AttStealblinds-28.29 Won$Wsf- 36.15 Went to SD-31.04 Won $ at SD- 57.54 PF Raise % - 12.38 (probably needs to be higher) |

Re: opponent selection
vry toight stats
Look for loose passives, and very loose aggressives Loose tables are fine, but usually id want something like this: 2 seats to my left theres a weak-tight BB who folds to steals a lot and plays bad postflop. To my direct left theres a player with a low SB vpip that plays bad postflop. 1 and 2 seats to my immediatea right there are 2 guys with huge vpips. I prefer them to be passive, but if they are aggressive thats fine too. Also a loose player in the seat accross from me is just dandy. Barring that, a loose passive callstation table is nice too. Very easy to play it. |

Re: opponent selection
These are awesome stats for players on your left and right (i'm in the middle). This is a 5max table. You are definitely right that passive is more important than loose. LAGs are tough to beat. |

Re: opponent selection
its not that lags are that hard to beat, you just have to be aware that they sometimes stumble upon the correct play when they c/r mid/bottom pair constantly. Just watch their betting patterns they arent too hard to pick up usually.

Re: opponent selection
Now that you guys mention it, I'm definitely not paying enough attention to my relative position to certain players.
Generally I have just found the loosest tables, signed up for the waiting list, and then just hopped in whereever I get in... not realizing till just recently the spot that opens up on a real loose table more often than not is the seat to the right of the loose maniac. |
