Table selection
I understand that table selection can make a significant difference to your win rates, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for.
I'm playing a style that usually has me around 30/20 or 35/25. When looking for tables I have tried to put the tight and/or better players to my right with the loose and poor players to my left. That's about it though. Can any of you suggest tips for table selection? I'd appreciate suggestions on selection when you have stats on players and when the tables are full of unknowns. Thanks! |

I prefer to play against passive players who will allow me to see flops cheaply from the blinds, give me free cards, and good odds to draw in multi-way pots. LAGs and maniacs can be profitable on your right too, but the variance and frustration can get a bit much sometimes. |

Re: Table selection
Pretty sure it's better to have tight players in a spot where they are folding to blind steals and generally folding to raises/3bets otb, etc., where you can isolate yourself against limpers much easier.

Things like percentage of players to flop, average pot size, hands per hour etc. This is all I use to find the better tables. The main thing I look for is a high average pot sometimes you will see a table with a average/low percentage of players to flop but a higher than usual average pot size this is usualy an indication of one or two over aggressive players spewing chips and these tables are the ones you want to be at |
