Default game selection

Since this is such an important aspect of being a winning player what do you guys look for when choosing an online table?

Ok, I'll try to give a serious answer since this is actually a good question. The best plan is to keep notes on your opponents, develop a list of people you want to play against, and play against them. One donator can make an otherwise awful game great, especially if you get good relative position. After that look for games with a high percentage of players seeing the flop and small pots. These games are loose passive. High percentage of players seeing the flop and big pots is fine too. Low percentage and small pots kinda sucks but maybe you can make some money stealing. Low flop percentage and large pots means a tight aggressive game, stay away if anything else is available.

Huge pots.

Some people might say that they could just be big because of good aggressive players. I say that if the pots average ten bets then someone is making a mistake somewhere.

Other than that, I'll deposit into sites I never play on just to play with 2+2ers.

I look for an open seat to the left of that LAG Inthacup so I can isolate him.

I could turn both you and Diablo into the game selection police for that nice little 10-20 Stars that went on tonight. Although I guess Glenn, Spicy, Josh and myself would also be guilty as charged.

By the way that GummyWorm character is lucky. Nobody knows how to hit flops with hands that up to 14 like he does.
