The problem is that at peak times, the 5 or 6 £ ring games at this level get full pretty quickly - sometimes you have to join a waiting list. So - with position being so valuable (and I do make every effort to do what Element mentions above whenever possible), should I back off, not take the first available seat and wait till I can sit somewhere tactically astute?
i look for full 10 person ring games, with 2 or 3 empty seats, and i'll pick the seat that puts me behind as many large stacks as possible so i have position on a few them... this is an ideal situation for me.
