Re: Pooh-Bah Post: Table Selection and Regulars (Why Im not at ur tabl
I don't agree that trying to find soft games would hurt your development at all. Exploiting weak players for maximum value is probably the most important skill you can have. A lot of regulars I see who play pretty well against other regulars refuse to adjust their game to weak players - they play their usual Tag game or whatever and while it definitely gives them an edge it's often far from optimal. They refuse to limp because limping is 'bad' - they refuse to coldcall because coldcalling is 'bad' - they refuse to play junk because playing junk is 'bad', and so on.
You can still learn to exploit regulars because you hardly ever get a table full of very bad players. In fact playing soft games with just one or two regulars is probably more helpful to developing skills because you'll have to adjust to the dynamic - looking out for regulars trying to isolate and 3-betting them etc. |

on PS fish are easy to find
it's the [censored] brain dead mouth breathers with the [censored] [censored] BABY AVATARS... AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH they always suck so [censored] bad, and their avatars always tilt the [censored] out of me but seriously, this is very important, i do it a lot, and i still get to practice playing vs regs quite a bit, since i'll often have position on a fish and some regs at the table too i select tables where i have position on fish, and don't worry too much about where the regs sit, except for not having over aggros have position on me i am constantly getting up from tables, finding new tables, and adding myself to waiting lists the entire time i play |

You should maybe added a few more guidlines like look for tables of 40%+ VPIP and only sit at tables with 2 other regs, maybe 3 if one is bad/exploitable and always try and sit to the regs left.
