how to set my cash game filter

#1 16th May 2011, 5:49 PM

I've set my filter on pokerstars so that it only shows games where the players seeing the flop are 40% and higher.Am I doing the right thing?I'm trying to find loose games where I can play tight and agressive and make some money.

I set my filters to much lower than 40%. Playin' micros not even sure what I set it at? (20-25%+ ?). I look for 'big avg. pots', bigger the better. I also find it's not always great to just play uber tight vs. the loose fish (micros), I actually prefer to LAG it up a bit &/or call with pos. with sm pr's & SC's & AXs hands - - hands that are likely to win huge pots when you hit. I'll change up my play 'depending upon the table'.

Thanks for the reply.What should the average pot size minimum be for 0.2NL?

6 max or Full Ring(FR). It makes a difference.

For 6 max I use 25-30% to a flop and an average pot size of about 15-20bbs(big blinds) but for 2nl you could maybe go higher. I havent played FR in a while so I cant help you there.

You could also just take a look at what the current tables are showing and eliminate the bottom 70% or something like that.

well if you play 9,10hand tables you can set filters much lower than 40 i think that 25-30 vpp is great table
