The skins and Party don't have anything but average pot size in the lobby so I'll just open 2-3 tables with the highest averages. If the waiting list is long for those I'll just add my name to the waiting list. If it's short, I'll data mine the table for 10 hands or so before deciding if I put myself on the waiting list. Ultimately, what I look for is people with VPIP > 40 with big stacks before sitting down and playing.

Then I do a search for people on my buddy list to get up to 4 tables open. If one of the buddies has a stack of 1.5x the buy in or more I'll immediately sit or put myself on the waiting list for that table.

This is for 6 max, btw, and I use PokerAce.
