I don't avoid them, but they certainly factor into seat selection...

"interesting... pokerprophecy has r_su_27 at 39% ITM over 3k games. but i dont think he's that great. is it just me?"

Aside from first saying pokerprophecy isn't particularly accurate...

They have me at 40.x% ITM, over 1500 or so. My ROI is nearish 10% four-tabling, so i'm not great.

Also, just for fun, I put my name into Pokerprophecy with the names of the 9 other highest players i recognize on the leaderboard (Quasi, juicyv, langthang, nofearhelps, wokethebears, etc). It ranked me as higher than all of these, though barely.

I know these players are likely much better than me, or at least play as well as i do but with 8 tables instead of 4.

I play regularly with a few of the people on this list. It might be a time of day thing, but we always seem to be at the same tables.

If I'm playing on my laptop and only 1 or 2 tabling, I will actually look for 2 of the people on this list and try to get at their table. I've found that since they are usually 8 tabling, they play ABC poker and are very exploitable. At least if they raise from UTG you know they have something instead of some nit raising UTG with 23s.

If you play with anybody long enough you'll get a decent read and this is always a positive whether they're good, or not. There are still 3 money places and if I get to HU with somebody on this list, I'm still happy.

If you are one of the people to be avoided:

NS Poker School, a fledgling poker school is looking for candidates to sponsor
into the world series of poker and players to sponsor online. We are looking for
"quality" players who are consistant winners over time. Sponsored candidates
could receive paid entry to the WSOP, we anticipate our online players being
given paid accounts at sites of their choice where they will split profits with
the school at an 80/20 split with 80% going to the player and 20% going to the
school. Sponsored players agree to promote the school and go through the 2-hour
initial online poker training segment, at the schools expense of course.
Interested candidates can e-mail pokergem123@yahoo.com for furthur information.

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

lol, avoid people? so i should be scared of people? oh. well, i think avoiding people is a waste of time, cuz there will always be someone adequate in most games, even if you dont know who they are. in anything 215 or above its a waste of time because everyone is at least decent, or aggressive on the bubble anyway. also, not enough games get off the ground if you play more than 6 tables, so it hurts yer hourly rate, which is really the only thing that matters. holla
