Hello. omote here xD
Since 2NL becomes harder, and more serious, making profit on 2NL is even harder than before. today, most of 2NL players are grinders rather than recreational players. Most players are Good TAG-LAG and fish pool(?) is really small now.
Really sad fact. right?
In this situation. I try to find good table to find more fish. However, I don't know how to find a good table and distinguish fish and regs :(

How can I find good table? and How can I find fish?

P.S My vpip = 10 pfr = 8 afr = 3.3 I'm Mid stack player
According to stats, Am I fish? (If I considered as a fish, I seriously required basic MSS strategy T.T)

You're not a fish, but you're a nit. I'd want you on my right so I could steal your blinds. ;)

You say you want an easier player pool? Then I suggest you switch to 6-max.

The play will be more aggressive, and the variance will be higher, but your possible edge will be a lot bigger as well.
You'll need to open up your ranges, though.

Unless those stats already are for 6-max? In that case you're so nitty that you're practically a fish.


But I don't play MSS, so maybe nittiness is a requirement?


Edit: ACR has a couple of capped tables, where hands are capped at 30BB o so. Maybe MSS would work best over there?
Since you can't lose as much at those tables, and regs can't obtain their full +EV potential, the field usually is a bit softer, too...

According to the stats you are on a bit tighter side tho mss and sss players do need to have tighter ranges than full stackers. i was beating 2nl and 5nl on 100k combined hand sample by being 11/9 but was eaten by blinds at 10nl cuz i havent got paid nearly enough at 10nl as i was at 5nl and i kept foldim too much...

Table selection, when you start doing it properly is a nice move forward in your game. I tend to stay away from tables when i dont see limpers or min donkers or donk folders at the tables, those are all the signature fishy moves, also when you look at the table in a lobby and see all 6 players being atleast 100bb deep you know that its less likely that there are a fish at the table, maybe the the one with 400bb can be the one but thats definitely not the table for you. AQt microgaming where i play there is no much info about the table dynamics of players per pot or average pot or hands per hour, at the rooms where you have all those stats you wanna be at the table with more players in the pot and with bigger average pot size, thats usually mean that someone is bleeding money at the tables...

Thats some of what i could think of...
Nice to see another mss on he forum, there are not much of the players who wanna play this style...
