How often do you guys jump tables when they become rock gardens

[mithong]

so lets say u find a choice .50/1 table with 11 dollar avg pots, and 35-40 percent VPIP but as ur playing, the game drops down in quality and becomes 20 VPIPdo you guys jump ship or tough it out

I play at Paradise and they have flop seen percentages. I stay no matter how rock-like it becomes.

As Peter Rus once said "Fuk table selection. I want to be able to beat any style of play."

Plus it saves me the trouble of switching tables, waiting for the blinds to come around, etc.

I'll play an orbit and see if it is just an odd fluctuation. I'll also look at the table to see WHY it's like that. Perhaps 2 new guys are 0%.

If it stats under 25% for a couple orbits I'm gone. NORMALLY others see it and the good guys leave to be replaced by fish though.

I don't multitable very much but I'm always scouting a couple of tables in case the one I'm at takes a dump. If VP$IP gets around ~30, I've got other choices and 9 times outs 10 I leave.

Do you know how gametime calculates this?

Because if it's the tables average over all your session it doesn't count for much. Tables will vary enough during one sessions. The last orbit or something would be better. PokerStars list tables with Players/flop, but I don't know how they calculate it

I hate this advice. Go where the money is. Put your ego in the backseat.

It's not about ego. It's about learning everything. What if you're playing in B&M and every table is full of rocks and you don't feel like leaving? You have to learn to play in these games sometime. What if you play high limits one day where the games are tighter? It's all just practice.

If I'll play in higher limits someday I will cut my teeth at those limits.

Furthermore, why would you not want to leave a rockish B&M game? This is silly.

I understand your method of reasoning here, but it's plain and simple:

Making money is better than learning something that makes less money when both are at the same stakes
