    Not mad, really, wanna, "Table Selection" is extremely important if you want to win at the Cash Games.

    All competent players do it, or should.

    something i posted in december (sorry if you've read it before) ...

    isn't there an amazing similarity between the Red Light District in Amsterdam and the high stakes cash tables where single players are just waiting for passing punters?  You can almost hear them tap on the windows.

    wander around just looking..  thinking no way... but friendly smiles beckon you ... you check your money and enter, putting your chips down ... sit down wanting to sit on your hands,.. should really just sit and go ... the action starts ...  you get checked almost immediately  ... after a couple of hands you see a pair.. you raise ...  the response is to put you all in.  you exit after two minutes with £50 less...  premature speculation.

    Hi Tikay, 

    You'll have to explain how sitting by yourself at a table waiting for random player(s) to sit down & play you is "Table Selection" - Could these random players not be using "Table Selection" to more effect?

    All the best, Sherlock

    There two type of players high stakes, Pros and recreational depositing players. You need a big edge in poker to make money as you have to not just beat the player but beat them by a good margin because of the rake. So playing another pro even if you have a small edge over them is no good. So they sit on a heads up tables waitin for a rich guy who was just watching his tv saw a advert for sky poker and thought i will have a game. He then goes and deposits a grand (as he wants a meaningful game for his financial position). He then sits with one of them and 9 times out of ten loses it.

    Why do they sit heads up you ask?

    Cos they are greedy and dont wanna share the grand with anyone else. Simple

    Do I do it?

    Yes occasionaly, I just cant be bothered waiting all day so for a suitable player. So I normally just play 1/2 6 max.

    I think AJS has answered that, fully & with great clarity. "THIS", as they say.

    Mr AJS will be on tonight's Live TV Show, by the way. I think he'll be very well received. He is a strong advocate of simple common-sense.

    Hi Tikay

    How does the one(s) sitting & waiting know the fella who DECIDES to sit down isn't a pro? It's random to the one sitting there waiting & not random to the one who CHOOSES to sit & play.

    All the best, Sherlock

    Sky has very few high stakes players Sherlock and hence when an "unknown" does sit then thats normally a very good spot.

    Predatory. yes, but essential for the HU pros.

    I am a little similar to AJS in that I'm not one to wait around all day for someone to sit and hence would much rather play the biggest ring games that are running...

    The pro will know within 10 hands whether the opponent is any good or not

    I wasn't so smart and proceeded to get raped for 3 buyins. Quite a player. Hopefully he gets bored and goes back to iPoker or whereever he came from :P
