Theory Discussion - Table Selection

[thac]

Wait.. so they're nl50 tables?

I don't understand.

But anyways it's about the same amount of money (table 2 has a bit less) but there is only 1 decent player on your left as opposed to 2 at table 1.

Ya. It is. I cant fix it anymore though. Can a mod put 25nl next to table 1 and table 2 please?

Table 2 has a $13, $22,$28, and an aggro $65. Why sit here unless you want to play NL25? If your talking table selection, surely you would select a table that has deep stacks or at least full stacks.

I only like table 1 since you can do alot of iso raising the 2 bad players that would be putting some chips in the pot alot. It not the perfect table, but it offers more possibilities than table 2.

Deep monies equal profit.

But if they have a decent stack, they've somehow played somewhat decent to get that stack.. I'd rather just vbet a bunch of passive players with 100bb or less because they've lost some of what they sat with (probably) and they're looking to double up.

Both tables are 25nl.

Ama, please see the sticky about 1 liners in strat forums, they dont help anyone. k thx.

Since the tables are NL25, I think that helps table 2 out some. Seat 6 would allow you to play against a deep aggressive player with position. I would most likely jump at sitting at that seat.

Here's my general table selection methodology (FTP). Looking for comments. I look for tables with high VPIP with high pot size stats. I then pop into the table and look around for players with around $12 -$22 in play (NL $25). My logic is that these folks are mostly likely recreational players or players playing above their rolls since they haven't reloaded to a full $25. Lately I walk into tables with 2 of my target players accompanied by at least one or two regulars. I don't have PA Hud which is probably a mistake but I get a decent feel for how players play after a few hands (plus the fact that I *only* play 3-4 tables at a time (and I'll check out their stats in poker tracker occasionally during play).

Why aren't I sitting at both of these tables again?
Table 1 seat 3 - I have position on the guy playing 50/20 who has a 180bb stack.

I also sit at table 2 seat 1 - Money goes clockwise and I have position on the biggest stack at the table who "stacks off easily".

I dont ever look at deep stacks this way unless you know the players. I see lags/fish run stacks up way to quickly for this to be true alot. Besides, what goes up must come down. If they stay long enough, they are due to get hit. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
