How many BB/100 is game selection worth?

"Mike are you using game selection in the mircro sense of picking individual tables with bad players, or in the macro sense of playing a game that is populated by tons of bad players?"

both.

Its all a matter of risk/reward. Playing 2/4 full I used almost no game selection, this allowed me to keep my multi-tabling ratio around 7. If I had sat at only the juiciest tables I could probably only be playing hands at 5-6 tables on average (however you define juicy). I felt the extra hands played at mediocre tables more than made up for the higher overall quality of my opposition.

However, at 5/10 6max or something there are certainly tables where no number of hands could make it worth my while to sit - I'd be hardly +EV against a linup of TAG's and thinking LAGs, in that instance table selection is paramount.

Table selection is worth a negative number if you are multitabling more than four.

i find there's plenty of time for table selection while 4-tabling, and i doubt it would be -EV while 6+ tabling to leave tables where the tag/fish ratio is too high and open up new ones. this is one of the biggest advantages of playerview (and i assume gametime, though i've never used it myself).
