Default 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.

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.

I don't avoid them, but they certainly factor into seat selection...

I play regularly with a few of the people on this list. It might be a time of day thing, but we always seem to be at the same tables.

If I'm playing on my laptop and only 1 or 2 tabling, I will actually look for 2 of the people on this list and try to get at their table. I've found that since they are usually 8 tabling, they play ABC poker and are very exploitable. At least if they raise from UTG you know they have something instead of some nit raising UTG with 23s.

If you play with anybody long enough you'll get a decent read and this is always a positive whether they're good, or not. There are still 3 money places and if I get to HU with somebody on this list, I'm still happy.
