a question i really should know the answer to.......
what stats do you find most useful for table selection? i've been using table average VPIP% and PFR%, looking for a loose passive table. i'm wondering if any of you find table average bb/100, table average wtsd%, and table average w$sd% useful when selecting tables. if so could you please explain how this is useful and what these numbers tell you about the table your at?

Sadly there's no way that table average BB/100 will settle down in time to be useful, although obviously if you knew the true long run figure that would be great.
I mostly use VPIP overall. Certainly if I have a choice of two tables I'll go for the one with the higher average VPIP. Beyond that I start looking at individual players. If an individual player has a potentially sensible PFR (something around 10 in my 6-max NL game) then I'll take a look at whether or not his VPIP is also sensible. If he's appropriately aggro but way too loose, that's OK and I don't need to be worried about him. But too many people whose stats are close to mine and I think about leaving. The other numbers (WtSD%, W$SD%) are also useful in theory but again I am sceptical about whether they'd stabilize in time to be useful in classifying a table. Think about W$SD% for a tight-ish player for a minute: first the guy has to get a hand that he likes enough to see a flop, then he has to go to a showdown with it (not fold and not win without a showdown) and after all that you get 1 and only 1 data point on his long-term W$SD%. It doesn't take much for your estimate to be way off the true long-run figure. |
