Table selections

Is anyone else having problems finding decent tables at the 50nl and 100nl at Stars? I can't hardly find one that has over 25% of the table seeing the flop when I look at the stats, and when I actually sit down for a few trips around the table my PaHud shows more like 16-18% with an aggression rate of 7+............. the whole table is playing TAG. I live on the west coast and play roughly from 7:00 to midnight........... My only other choices seem to be Full Tilt or Bodog, am I likely to find some looser tables on those sites?

Bodog, if it's still open to US players.

A serious note on table selection:

going for the tables with the biggest average pot is wrong IMO.
Normally these are the tables where the table fish got busted like 3hands ago, which means you are probably taking a fishes seat, not goot!
Secondly, the tables we want to play at should be full of loose/apssive calling sations meaning that table pots should be an ok size but lots of people should be going to the flop.
Normally if im looking for good tabls im looking for 15bbs pots and 50%+ people to the flop.
Obviously the dynamic changes on each site, but these are the tables i prefer.

Also, any seat at a table of half buy ins is awesome, as gambOOling with donks (bascially anyone who doesnt buy in full is a weekend gambOOler at small/mid stakes) is absoluty +ev.

yes, i notice it. but you need to either adjust your game (which i do not) or drop a level, or change sites (if possible).

the "good" LAGs must be making a killing off the TAGs right now.

This might be true at the higher limits but i've found that theres still a good amount of bad players that buy in in full, in my experience its 50/50 good and bad that buy in in full. But still a pretty good way to judge, all of the points you made were very good.

For sure, I also love finding the tables with 5 deepstacked bad TAGs.

It's the 2 TAGS and 2 shortie tables that I don't like.

Is it bad to dislike mixed tables?
