Poker Table Selection: How to Choose the Most Profitable Table Almost as important as selecting the most suitable online poker room, is the selection of the best poker table to play at. Once again the profitability of each table can vary massively, so is it just luck whether or not you pick the most profitable?

An average player that practices excellent game selection, only plays in games he's a big favorite in, and leaves whenever the table gets bad will be significantly more profitable than a very good player that exercises zero game selection.

Poker Table Selection

Poker table selection is identifying the best table(s) to play. You should always carefully select the games you play. Poker is super competitive with strong players and “regs” at all stakes. You want to make things as easy as you possibly can by playing with the weakest players possible. In order to do this, you need to look at the games available and spend some time picking your game(s). This is not something you can easily do at your local casino but you certainly can online.

How to Table Select

Through process of elimination and filtering, you can find the most lucrative game available to you. The way you do this is by going through each factor of the games and filtering. The initial steps are below:
1) Open the lobby and find the game you are playing. Is it Texas Holdem? Pot Limit Omaha or Mixed Games? Pick your best game. Better to be a master at one than average at several.
2) What stakes and limit are you playing and with how many players (e.g. $2 blinds, No Limit and 6 max)? Is this the most appropriate level for good bankroll management and your skill level?
Once you have identified the game, stakes and limit type you are playing, we can start by looking at the tables available and some key important stats.

Average Pot Size

The higher the pot size, the juicier the game. In cash games, you want to be involved on tables that have a lot of action not boring small pots with nitty players. Look for the higher average pot size tables.

Hands Per Hour

The number of hands played per hour are an indication into how quickly the game is flowing. The more hands being played, the better. Decisions are quicker and you are getting through more volume and not with regs who are time banking every decision.

Players Per Flop

This statistic shows how many players on average are seeing the flop. The higher, the better because we know weak players will play poorly post flop, make bad decisions, chase draws on the turn with bad odds and are not exercising proper hand selection.

Conclusion

Poker table selection is vital to your hourly win rate. The biggest factor is the players per flop and the average pot size. Always look at these before playing. Don’t be afraid to wait around. Sometimes you have to be patient and get on a waiting list to get your seat at the juicy table. Remember, good things come to those who wait. Don’t be impatient and jump in the next game if it means you won’t play with the fishes.
