Default The power of Table Selection, and a kick in the butt

On Feb. 22nd I posted a thread about how Party was killin' me, and I needed a kick in the pants. The same day I read a post where GrunchCan had posted some tips on how he looks for tables.

I decided to be a little more picky on my table selection, and play Party and shaddup about it.

The results can be seen:

I'm glad you've recovered, and congrats on the turnaround!

But you're still at less than 10,000 hands overall (let alone the turnaround period) and your BB/100 is still almost completely irrelevant as a diagnostic tool to determine how well or poorly you're playing, or how well or poorly you're choosing tables.

I'm skeptical about how much influence the table selection has had on these results... but I still wonder if you could direct me to Gruncha's post? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Then add in the fact that during the first 6000 hands I was a TAF of 2.0, and the last 2500+ hands I've been about a TAF 2.21... you really can't make any assumptions about bb/100.

But what is undeniable is the trend of the graph during the first 3/4ths of it compared to the last part. There's still a 50BB dip in the last part (a 4-tabling bonus-clearing episode I doubt I'll repeat soon), but the trend is still there.

I'm not making any BB/100 claims. Just that table selection is important.

You totally miss my point. Yes table selection is important. But your data shows NOTHING about table selection.

Over 2500 hands, 6000 hands, or 10000 hands there is not enough data to show any "trends" whether BB/100, aggression, or table selection!

Variance! Variance! Variance!
