Saw someone mention this in another thread was wondering what the best tips for in looking for a table using the table stats you see in the lobby (I play on stars mainly).
At the moment I mainly go on average stack size (the bigger the better) and hands per hour. Occasionally Ill search for player I know to be an easy target, although I'm not 100% sure I should be doing that. I tend to ignore the average pot stat because it can be thrown off so easily by a cold deck or any other reason.
Aside from using table finding software is there a better method for table selection such as looking at other stats available or something else entirely?
1. Sort the list of tables on Stars by VPIP.
2. Add myself to waiting list for highest VPIP tables.
3. Wait for stats to appear - I have stats a lot of the regs now so I know quickly if I have three nitty regs to my right.
4. Colour code fish for future reference; I also colour code better players.
5. Leave if the table isn't good.
A good table has a fish within 2 seatss to my right and no-one making life hard for me within 2 seats either side. I will also stick around if a maniac is anywhere on the table.
Starting tables by sitting first is one of the most effective methods to game selection. Also PokerTableRatings is a powerful tool for selection as well.
