So, I play on pokerstars exclusively, and generally play $25NL ring hold'em. I usually look for a table with a reasonable avg pot size and as few minimum buy-in nits as possible.
The big problem is, I wait for the blind to reach me, then I'm lucky if I get 1 round in before there's 2 empty seats, and people start sitting out. When that happens, the table generally breaks down in a couple of hands.
Now, I know I'm not that good a player that people are afraid once I sit down. So, is this just a product of the stakes I'm playing at? Am I better off looking for a table with a really high avg pot size? Really low? All big stacks sitting down? Is this such a big problem on the higher stake tables?
It seems worst in the early evenings when you get a lot of these $5 buy-in players who are jumping from table to table looking for someone that will call when they open shove with AA.
Any tips on finding a ring table that lasts long enough to get some play?
