looking at the party lobby, there are never many tables running at 10/20 and 25/50, do good games run often?

[/ QUOTE ]

Depends on your definition of good.

[ QUOTE ]
also, at these stakes what would you consider a good table.
so what sort of stats would a fish have. at 25/50 are there some really bad players or is it just sharks feeding on smaller sharks

[/ QUOTE ]

There are bad players sometimes. I just look for loose players who go to showdown too much. If I can get position on one of them, the rest of the table is irrelevant.

if you could go back in time a year and give yourself 1 bit of poker related advice, what would it be?

I really can't come up with much good here. Generally, to take time and think through hands as they are happening instead of just autopiloting everything. For a long time, I didn't think for nearly long enough before making plays and although I could later come up with the correct play, I wasn't doing it while playing.

Specifically, that at mid-stakes NL everyone isn't screwing with you constantly and it isn't OK to go crazy playing back at them. This is tilt, not "making a stand". Figure out their frequencies by using PT and adjust yours to take advantage of that. Also, when someone 3-bets you the last 3 orbits, it CAN be that they have a hand every time. You don't need to ALWAYS play back.
