This has been beat to death with no answers i think. Fnord had some excellent points in a thread. But your right in the VP$P and pot sises. First off, I have had completly different stats than the ones in the lobby at both stars and Full tilt. What is the criteria for their stats? Is it last 5 hands, last 10, last 50? You really won't know the stats until you actually sit and play at the table. I think alot, if not most, will control more action at the tables they play, so yea it's more about the players at the table. A problem I have with being in the micro stakes, up to and including $25NL, there are no regulars. Yea there are players with 400 + hands, but nobody with 1K hands and up. the players are changing constantly. Moving up, busting out or switching sites. I basically play 6 tables (now 8) and if the table isn't working out, I don't like somebodys position or their seems to be an absence of donators, I move. I have no particular stats to look for, or fish, becasue at $25NL and under, fish don't last.
