Improving your Texas Holdem profits involves many skills other than those you will use with the cards. Good table selection can improve those profits considerably – yet many players completely overlook it, costing themselves easy money each time they log on.

Think of table selection in these terms:

You are making profits from the mistakes made by opponents – so why not seek out the opponents making the most or biggest mistakes?

The basics of table selection start with 2 statistics which are available in the lobby of all online poker sites. These are ‘Average Percentage Of Players To Each Flop’ and ‘Average Pot Size’. Increasing your profits can be as easy as looking for the largest numbers for each category – however the combination of these two scores can give you some solid information about the table you are likely to find.

Finding the table which is most profitable for you will often depend on your own style. Looking at each of the categories of table in the diagram above it is easy to imagine that a ‘Tight and Aggressive’ style will beat the wild game, while a loose style making many small bets and raise is likely to beat the tighter games. It is also easy to see how choosing the wrong table (at which your style would not benefit) can affect profits.

 

There are two further profit-boosting factors to consider when it comes to Texas Holdem Table Selection. The first is that not all sites are equal when it comes to the opponents you will find at the tables. Second of all the seat you select can be just as important as the table itself – after all, your position in relation to the table maniac can seriously affect the number of ‘moves’ you can make.

Finding Texas Holdem sites with the weakest opponents involves looking beyond the ‘big 2’. Check out the matrix on our ‘Best Online Texas Holdem Poker Sites’ for more information on this.
