Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
 

Id never avoid anyone....you lose time everytime you avoid a table because of one player, time that affects your hourly rate. One "good" player at a table isn't really relevant, there has to be quite a few before it really matters.

Also note that many of the people on the leaderboard that play nonstop are very exploitable and actually quite easy to play against, as they basically go on autopilot most of the time.

at the 215s this is probably true.

at the 55's its about 15-20 seconds

This would be true if you play continuously 10 hours a day. Don't you play 3 sets a day? Your arguments don't make much sense in that case.

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
 

Of course they make a ton of sense! When I play 5 tables and wait to start up my next one, that can have a strong affect on my hourly rate, and may delay my set by anywhere from 1-5 minutes. Also since all of the good players 8 table, I'd have to avoid them for a long period of time. Also I don't think anyone is really that good, and just having one of them at the table doesnt mean anything. I mean honestly, there is almost always at least one halfway decent player at all the $215s and usually quite a few.

Basically if you want to earn the maximum at the $215s while 8 or 10 tabling in sets, and you have a high ROI to begin with, then using game selection is kind of counterproductive.

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
 

It seems like noting the better players you are sitting with would be way more productive then trying to avoid them altogether.

I 8-table the $11s through $33s. I note people that multitable with a simple "MTs" and I note people that play in a 2+2 style.

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
 

Im sure that at the 11s-55s the multitablers are pretty easy to abuse.
