How do you pick your table? If you follow the books you should allways pick a table with a decent pot size and a high flop/turn %. But I don't think this is right, if you are a loose player shouldn't you pick the tightest table you could? I do this alot and the first half hour people let me take alot of small pots and when they finnaly get tired of me I often got a hand The players who normally play tight are often really bad loose players so when they get annoyed and opens up their game it just get's better So im a strong believer that you should pick a table that plays the opposit of your game.

Most guides speak out of the assumption that your are playing a TAG game. LAG players usually need to play against tighter players to be profitable, at least I always need to play against TAGs, if I play against another LAG the game gets way out of hand in a matter of minutes. On the other hand; running well against a LAG is the ultimate payday

its hard for me to classify my game.. im really not aggressive but im not that loose either.. im more of a neutral player.. but i dont mind stealing small pots (ie the blinds) then seeing a flop come up... so i like playin at tighter tables.. makes the game abit easier you can judge who has what by their bets and no where you stand better than you can with aggresive players...
i am playing in TAG style , because ABC poker is right at low limits sometimes i steal the blinds and that's it i don't need controll a table at that limits, they just pay me out for my nuts
