Psychology of Game Selection
 

When I walk into a B&M casino and look for a good game to sit down at, I usually look for the players who are talking the most, being boisterous, and seemingly enjoying the idea of playing poker. The rationale is that if a table is having fun and living it up, it's extremely likely that their primary purpose in the game isn't to make money.

What are some of your B&M game selection tips?

Your reasoning echoes that of Mike Caro who maintains that a sociable table is a more profitable table. I believe in it too, especially since B&M cardrooms for some reason don't have a screen with updated pot averages and % flops seen like online ones do.

Get in good with the floor staff so they can direct you to the livest games.

Excellent point.

Also, develop relationships with other regulars. They are a great source of information.

Someone mentioned that B&M rooms don't provide statistical information. I doubt that they will ever do so. It would be too much work. In fact, it would probably be almost impossible.
