Re: Table Selection How-To
Criteria:
1. 35%+, but I'll settle for 30 if I can't find anything better.
2. doesn't matter, depends on my attention span and mood...Less than 6 and I get to play more hands, more than 8 I get to play less (usually anyway).
3. Cold-calling, # of players in each pot at each street, pot size (not a great indicator though, imo).
Process:
1. Open up 4 tables and watch them, look at the stats as they accumulate, pick one or two and when my turn comes up determine if the seat position works for me or not. Rinse and repeat. OR wait-list: first available with x players. Depends on the limit I'm playing.
2. It's not too quick, but I usually find 3 tables worth sitting at in about 10-15 minutes. I'll jump on the first available at a lower limit to fill the time. I only play 2-3 tables at a time, so it's no problem to keep looking for a better table alot of the time. So as one goes bad you have another queued up.
3. When the reasons why I sat down are gone (ie players left). No more cold calling. Get's folded around or close to it. See more players where I have pre-existing stats/notes at the table (the good players accumulate more quickly than the bad).
