Joining a new table?

[kak1154]

Am I the only one who doesn't like to play at a newly formed table? I feel like people are so cautious at new tables, just feeling each other out. They (presumably) just got there, so they are fresh. There are no donks with deep stacks. Everyone just met, so they aren't very lively, joking around, etc. which makes people play worse.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Advantages, disadvantages? Discuss....

I like new tables. Then I can establish dominance and make it "my" table.

I love new tables. They're full of fish who haven't had time to bust. Tables that have been around for a few hours tend to fill with the rocks and grinders and the downright good players who, once established, last for hours.

Yes, it can take a round or two for a new table to open up a bit.

I find it depends. At 1 in the afternoon, new table kind of sucks compared to sitting at a going table. At 10pm, sitting at a new table is [censored] awesome.

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.

I don't have a ton of B&M experience, so a couple weeks ago was the first time I had been sat at a newly formed table. I thought it was great. As someone else said, it was a random cross section of typical (i.e., BAD!) players at the casino. I had my best session ever that day.

Lol, the only time if joined a new table...it was a 1/2 nl table,and my buddy and some other guy both got it all in on the flop..

1st hand = 200bb pot, not bad, although one had KK and one had AA..strange, live is rigged

And when a new table opens and I start to get a little turgid at the thought of doing a table change, when I remember I'm playing at a place that uses must moves and won't let someone in an established game move to a must move table it's like an instant dose of parents coming home early Saturday night and catching us.

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

Kak,

"playing worse" do you mean tighter? Because that is what I have found when I just join a new table.

yet, one never knows usually within an hr max 2hrs. The table loosens up after a couple ppl have felted and re-loaded.
