Re: Game Selection: Money on the table.
In the example you gave where you have the only full stack and everyone else is $100 the problem of implied odds makes it difficult for you to enter the pot. A $16 bring-in means you are looking at 6-1 implied odds if you hit. Plus when you win a couple of small pots you're up against some really short stacks. These players are subject to shoving pre-flop or shoving the flop with anything.
In a full game you may have to put up with this for a while when a short stack buys in, but they won't be there long. I'm not entering a game unless the table is pretty well stacked.
