The last 3 months I was frustated with my game. I thought I was playing a solid preflop (21/19) game but that was as far that I’m good at. My postflop is terrible against loose passive players because I’m weak tight and when I become frustated being pushed out of the pot, I try bluffing the wrong station.
February and March was mostly a good month for me. I have started practising good table selection. I think this is the #1 reason that my winrate is much better than previous months. I’ve tighten up my range out of position especially in the blinds. I’ve thrown out SCs multiway in the blinds. I’ve dropped 22-66 for EP-MP. My reasoning is since the player pool is huge, why should I play hands that would make my decision harder postflop?
I’ve also made foolish expreriments:
- half stacking at 25NL – it was good for a while but I can’t handle the swing.
- playing double up sngs – this is so dumb, it’s a waste of time
So this is the way I table select:
- Find tables with ‘Avg Pot’ bigger the 20bb and the table must not have more than 2 shortstackers (<40bb)
- Once seated, play a normal game.
- After 20-30 minutes evaluate your table and your seat.
- I’ll leave the table if:
- It’s a tight table (<22 VPIP) leave. I don’t want to waste time squeezing rocks.
- There’s a BIG calling station / maniac on my left.
- There’s more than 2 shortstackers on the table.
A well known fact is the best 6 max table is two fish on your right and two nits on your left so these factors are what I always have in mind when I table select.
