For some reason, certain poker rooms attract more bad players than others. It could depend on how many inexperienced casino players are playing for fun at the poker site, or current promotions that are attracting a lot of new players.
So, how do you tell an easy-to-win table from one full of sharks? Actually, most poker rooms provide just the right tools to distinguish the best tables in the lobby. Statistics such as view-flop percentages and average pot size are both very useful figures to start out with, and are generally available in most poker rooms.
The view-flop percentage shows how many players go on to see the flop on average, and a high average indicates that some of the players play too many hands. If the average pot is larger than usual, it could mean that the players at the table are overly aggressive and go too far with mediocre holdings. Playing against tough opponents is a great way to improve your game - but good table selection is the easiest way to win.
