| Table selection... How do you decide which Full Ring table you want to sit at when selecting one or more for cash game play. I've lately been trying to sit at looser tables >35% Plr/Flp with high Avg. pot >$0.40 and even higher if possible. Is this a good strategy? I'm hoping to find donks and avoid the regs/sharks as much as possible. What do you guys look at? Thanks |

| I color code regs, good regs, and fish. I assume anyone I haven't color coded is bad. So when a table comes up I take a seat if there are bad colored or uncolored full stack players to my right and no good reg is in the 2 seats to my immediate left. I only sit at tables with 2 or less SS and I need extraordinary circumstances to sit with a PoS SSer in the 2 seats to my right. I don't really care how loose or tight a table is playing. |

| I do pretty much the same thing as WV. But I play 6-max. still applies. Except I color code Regs/ Good Regs/ gen. fish / nits/ Loose passive fish. Before I leave a table I try to tag everyone. Then I search the 5 person tables for the one w the most loose passive fish. I code nits because if there is a 4 person table with a nit to my left and an open seat to my right, Ill take it. Its usually a fish that sits down there anyway @ 10nl. |

| re: Table selection... poker Here's a question: When the box comes up asking you if you wish to take a seat at this table, it tells you who the players are, their stack sizes, table VPIP, Avg pot etc but is there a way of knowing, before you sit down, where you will be sat in relation to the others? I'll often accept a seat at a good table and then have to leave as I realise i'm OOP to the regs etc. Also, I never colour code...will start from today after reading these posts and watching some videos on DTB. |

| I do it the same as you pnj's dad. I look for a high plays/flop % and high avg pot. Works out great. What's more important to me though is the players to the flop %. When I see one thats very high, even if the avg pot is low i'll still pick it because the more players that see the flop the more chance that there's a bunch of loose/passives at the table and those are the ones i like to play against |

| I play 2NL Full Ring and I look for tables with at least 26% players to see the flop and a pot at least .30. Since I play tight I want to have as many loose, bad players at the table as possible. I've been at a table full of nits like myself and it is horrible as everyone folds when someone raises. I join the waiting list and then can accept or decline if the table meets my criteria. I will also go through the main lobby and target individual tables and join their waiting lists also. I have not color coded players yet but do make notes for maniacs and extreme calling stations. I never even thought about changing seats but will try this as I always want the most aggro players to my right and the calling stations to my left. |

nits = play to tight for their own good loose passive = plays lots of hands by limping pre-flop. Does more check/calling than bet/raising. fish = really? salmon, haddock, marlin, etc. |
