Re: Joining a new table?
I like new tables because the bad players optimistically have full buyins. For some reason, I'm always a little intimidated, assuming the other players are really playing well before I can see many cards shown down. And it might even be a real phenomenon - players might actually sit down early and try to play well, but then slip into their real skins as they get bored, see big pots, see what they think are other bad players, whatever. It's just as well - makes me play conservatively until I see how the other players play.

[ QUOTE ] I love new tables. They're full of fish who haven't had time to bust. [/ QUOTE ] Second this thought. Because better players will tend to log longer sessions than worse players, a new table is ideal. Unlike an existing table, its population should be a fairly average cross-section of the players who play poker at any given time during their day at the casino; an existing table will overrepresent players who play longer sessions. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. I pop a chubby whenver they open up a new table. |

Just for the record, I'll repeat myself... Must Moves Suck. |

Re: Joining a new table?
I totally disagree with OP's opinion.
I love new tables for all the reasons stated and more. New tables are way more likely to have more novice, inexperienced players. Also more likely to have many short buy in guys who donate their $50 and leave. If I'm sitting at a tough table with 3 or 4 known regulars and I see a new table open I'm getting a table change right away. |
