Morning everybody,
Let's talk about table selection. Every cash game book I have read puts a huge emphasis on table selection, and in an ideal world I can totally get behind the idea. Let's be realistic for a second though. How often do you get the chance to be selective about your table? You walk into your local brick and mortar. You walk up to the board desk. You tell them your name and the limit and game type you want to play in. You wait, sometimes you wait and wait and wait, but eventually you get seated. You get no choice of what table or what seat.
If you are like me, you might spend your wait time wandering from table to table watching the people play and hoping you get this table over that table or that table, but whichever table gets a donk to bust out of first is where you are generally seated. How realistic to you find "Table Selection" as an option for improving your game? Do you ever get an idea of the table you want to be at and then tell the board desk, "I want a seat at table number x when it opens." Or do you just take your seat and play? I think I am going to start watching all the tables at my stakes play until I get my seat. Then I am going to let the board desk know I want to be changed to table "x"when a seat opens
