When joining a table of unknowns at a 6-man table, what is the ideal average pot size?

Its just noticeable that waiting lists seem to be longer at the tables with the bigger average pot size. Im guessing people just thinkin bigger is better, but im wondering if this is really the case.

I just sit at tables without waiting lists if the table doesn't suck and I can't find good buddies.

A few months ago at 5/10 6-max a table I was at shot up to ~20 bb pot average because of a true maniac who bet/raised every street. I won 60 BB/100 over 300 hands before the guy had burned through his 5 grand.

My favorite hand from the session:

I have KJo and raise UTG. Maniac 3-bets. Everyone folds. I cap.

Flop comes 833

Bet,raise,3-bet,cap.

Turn 8

Bet,raise,3-bet,cap.

River 4

Check,bet,call.

He has K2.

Anyway, totally irrelevant but I thought I'd share that.
