Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
if i dont remember how they play, and since the tables fill up too quickly to review Notes, i will usually find another table.
How about you? |

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
I feel that I'm better than most of the TLB players at my level by a wide enough margin that I don't lose much by sitting with them. At the same time I don't think the margin is so large that they have nothing to teach me. So I sit with them readily.
This may well change once I'm playing the $100s+, though. Then again, maybe not. I'm willing to take a hit to my hourly rate if it'll help me improve. |

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
eh, if you don't remember how they play, and the tables fill up fast, why not avoid them?
c ps: i used to do this and now don't as much. i'll avoid tables with like 4 of you morons at them. |

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
I have lots of notes marking people as being on the leaderboard for X month, etc... and if I play against them a lot, specific notes on their play...
But at the higher buy-in SNGs, I usually feel fine as long as the table doesn't have more than 5 other people that I have noted as good/decent. I don't think that 1 player, no matter how good they are, really decreases your earn much... |

I assume +ev no matter where I sit at my level so I don't worry about it.
A handful of times I have changed seats before a tournament started to get on a good player's left. |

If you're not avoiding me you're playing -EV poker.

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
no way, i avoid good players. i was top ten on the leaderboard in a month and I'm only mediocre. the players to watch out for are the solid 4 tablers, but you most likely won't ever recognize them if you are playing more than 4 tables.

Re: Table selection- Do you avoid people on the Leaderboard?
My general rule is if there are 2 solid players, I don't sit down. There are so many new tourneys opening it's silly to sit with more than one. By solid I mean about 5 or 6 players at the 109s.
