Table Selection with Holdem Manager

Hey guys, trying out another idea here for the blog. Continuing with the main theme from the last post about the importance of sitting with fish, I decided to make a short video to show exactly how I game select with Hold'em Manager while playing a lot of tables.



It kinda goes without saying but I forgot to mention that I am constantly cycling in high vpip tables to replace the ones that I get rid of.

Would love to hear your guys comments on the video and if this is something you would like to see more of in the future.

Do you have any tips or tricks of your own for table selecting?

  2. Thanks Nathan for taking the time well multi-tasking the tables That's pretty much the same way i do it. But i never thought of using my Hem table selector . I just look at the poker sites vpip% . Merge is a little different then the Full tilt one i use to play on. But i got it dialed in. I also don't like to be at tables less then 19% and tables that have high hands per hour because that means alot of folding going on regs..But some times you will find a low vpip% because a fish is just raising so high or shoving every hand so i also like to look at av pot size ...

  3. Nice Video! Like to see more. I play NL5 SH, NL10 FR. I do at least some table selection, but when I have the tables open, I stay there most of the time.

    Mabye a good time to try to change this behavior.

    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

  5. I folded because he is a nit raising from EP and my hand plays badly against his range. Also, I'm kind of in earlyish position myself. I'd probably flat call (I am never 3betting here against a nit) if I was in LP.
