I kinda just sit down and scout after I sit. If it's truly a juicy table, the time it takes to scout will probably cost you a seat there.

I usually open the 4 tables with the largest pots on Party. I'll let PT run for about 30 minutes while I check my email, post etc.. Then I'll open PV and see what tables look good and find a seat.

When I play poker it is usually from 2am-8am eastern time. If there are 4 tables even going on party 200NL i am happy.

When I do play during normal hours it is too tough to grab a table fast enough. I just sit and play 3 of them and then wait for a partilarily juicy table if a few of my "buddies" are playing.

out of curiosity how many bb/100 are you heavy scouters making?

I don't scout. I just sign up for the waiting list for a bunch of tables with big average pot sizes. When I get seats, I sit down and play a few orbits, and decide from there whether I want to stay. The thing is, it's not always about the table but your relative position at the table, and you can't "scout" for good seats.

Default Re: Do you Scout tables before you Sit Down?

i start off by opening 4 random tables. let pa pick up the tables and see what table i have the most stats on or some big losers. pick the best two and have others running in the background so i'm free to move to them when i want.

I sit down at 4 empty tables and wait for someone to come and take a shot at me.
