I saw a deep stack table today. The players per flop was 67% and the average pot size was a lot bigger than the normal stack tables.

Is this common for them? I couldn't tell because it was the only table of the type.

Also, is a table with stats like that advantageous? I figured it would be an easier table to beat, but wasn't sure.

With a table like that it's a great table to play, people are playing garbage and if you wait for good hands and play them aggressively you'll get paid off. However you gotta be able to take the variance and reload if they draw out on you which will happen but the potential is huge at tables like that.
I damage threads that may actually benefit some posters

Thats what I thought.

I mean:
1) They are playing loose
2) They are putting a lot of money in the pot
3) They have huge stacks to take when you hit a monster


Unfortunately, there was a wait line and I had to leave for an Xmas dinner.

Generally as stack sizes increase, the advantage a better player has increases as well.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
