Do you guys use the same guidelines for picking your Omaha tables as Holdem?
I typically mainly look for high % of players in the pot because I want to abuse limpers. Since Omaha at the low levels is very much a limping game, do you guys care about something else more, or is this still the biggest factor in your choice?

 lately I have been looking for fish and then doing it at random, sometimes the 4 nit 1 fish table is the best.

at low levels I would think you would just go with highest VPIP

 everyone is so bad below $50PLO that the only time I'd ever change seats is if I was deep and some aggro halfway decent player was on my left.

I think it's very important in PLO to stay at the same tables and amass large stacks, the benefit being players with bigger stacks tend to get more action from the fish and respect from the nits. I almost feel stupid typing this b/c it seems idiotic but those are my true feelings on the subject.

 i believe it

also I'm less likely to sit in a game with a good player who is deep eps if he is the only one at the table, so that should work in favor as well

Good comments.
There are so few 10PLO tables to choose from. I end up playing 20-50BB and 40-100BB at the same time with almost all the same players, so goofy. I can even open tables up and sit down alone and even though there's only 3/4 tables, guys will sit on the waiting list and not sit down with me.
Ah well, fun to mess around with - nice change from Holdem.

 starting tables is a great way to get a fish to yourself for a few minutes and I feel tables tend to fill up w/ worse players when you start them for the same reason you pointed out, regs tend to get on waiting lists and join 5-handed tables.

 I mostly look for VPIP and leave if the table gets tight.

While there are plenty of bad players, your gap over the mediocre ones is smaller than spendas gap over them so feel free to table select liberally I say.
