The more people seeing the flop means the more calling stations there are. So try and find at least 30% players seeing a flop. That is what I do anyways.

at 25NL and below I usually try to stick to tables that have like 35% and up vpip and the least amount of shortstacks as possible. I also look at the avg pot size, obviously bigger is better but I think stack sizes and the vpip is a little more important.

You want juicy games. Average pot size shouldnt be more than ~10% of your buy in IMO.

Picking off shortstacks can be fun and very profitable. Calling alot reduces variance instead of betting. Especially with shortstacks.

How do these sites calculate the % players to flop? Does it just average the last 3 hands or something?

Main criteria:
- You recognize a player or two sitting down, that you know are fish.
- Stack sizes. If a table is mostly short stacks skip it.

Otherwise look for a table with the highest VPIP %, & large pot sizes.

I'd add that it is important to be sure to not be afraid to leave your table and join another one if the one your at dries up.

I use the stars filter feature and I use #players > % players per flop > avg pot.

So then I have all of the best tables at top. Then I will click on each one looking for tables with full stacks, I usually open any which has like 6+ full stacks, which is pretty god dam hard to find at nl10 fullring, which is why started playing 6max.
