Default Table Selection 50NL

When selecting a table, do you look for the highest average pot, specific buddies, players to the flop, or a combination of the above?
I was thinking of moving back to party from pokerroom, when I noticed that the average pot at PR 50NL tables seems to be much higher, plus their lobby is WAY more useful as far as scouting good games. Thoughts?

I get on the waiting list for the ones with the highest pot. Ill get 3 or 4 open only intending to play 2.
After poker office has some time to get some data, I decide which ones to leave open. Usually Ill get one with a couple people seeing 80% of the flops.

buddy list.

if that doesn't work, i usually pick 6-max tables with open seats and high average pots, play a couple of orbits and look for new buddies.

Ave pot at PR50NL is not higher than party in my experience.

One thing to be mindful of is if you are 3rd or 4th on waiting list for a high ave pot table, by the time it opens up the dynamics / players may have changed (ie worst players busto).

Forget about pot size and just go by % of players to the Flop. Although buddies take precedence.

While I completely agree with this, I will put that it is a good idea to practice table selection just to get used to when you move up to bigger games.

I, however, am a hypocrite and just join whatever 4 tables I can get on right away and start playing. Leaving tables as the need arises.
