Default Re: Ok I really need some help with table selection

for a change of pace try starting a new table during good hours. Most thinking poker players do like everyone else and hang out at the full/loose tables. This means that for every juicy table of fishies you have 5 potential sharks patiently waiting to get in on the feeding frenzy.

Why would you get in line behind other thinking poker players!?

By starting a new table you create a situation that attracts fishies and deters thinkers - a shorthanded table with a low avg pot. Newbies don't care about table selection. They don't care about average pots. They don't care about position or even relative ability. They just want action man. Give them an outlet.

I've found that if I start a new table and hang out for a few minutes more often than not an inferior player is the first one to sit down. We'll play heads up for a few hands before a few more sit down. Once you get about 4 in, then the floodgates open and -presto- you're sitting all alone in the biggest aquarium in the place.
