Yeah, it looks like the MP4 is messed up here -- I'll get a new copy up ASAP.

Great video guys.
Entity, a couple of times in the video you mentioned that it was not really a good table and that if it had not been for the fact of making the video it would have been better to find a new one. Now as the stakes start to get higher, good tables are going to be more difficult to find, so what I am wondering is how poor does a table have to be before it is not worth playing.

At the lower stakes, the rake is quite a big factor, therefore if we are at a table with five other opponents with taggish type stats even though we think we might be better than those other five players, because of the rake it is not worth playing at that table is that correct?

If we are at another table with four other taggish type players, and one player with stats of say 45/10 but this player is sitting directly opposite from us, would that be a table worth playing at?

Pygmyhero,
You probably already know this but I thought I would mention it anyway. When you are taking notes on other players you right click on their name and then right click on the Notes menu. I find it quicker and easier to just double click using the left hand mouse button and this takes you straight to the notes window.

thanks xross.

Overall this is the sort of table I'd be happy to play at 5/10 or higher. Most of the players were capable of being run over, and the LAG, while he wasn't horrible, would definitely donate some funds. It's not a great table, but I wouldn't leave it at 5/10 and certainly not at 10/20 or higher. At $2/4, though, I think this sort of a table is a pass -- no one would give you fits, but you just don't have a ton of huge money spots. It's partly rake considerations, but mostly that if you play $2/4 or $3/6, it's pretty likely that you can throw a dart and hit a table that will be better than this most of the time.

The sort of table you describe probably wouldn't be worth playing, but it depends on the quality of the TAGs. Many otherwise good players aren't great at the art of restealing and crawl into a shell when you beat up on them, so those sort of games can be ok -- but generally I'd recommend avoiding them.

Thanks xrosswind. I actually recall that now that you've said it, but obviously I'm relatively unaware of it overall. I appreciate you pointing it out though as you're right - it's definitely easier and faster to use. So I'm trying to switch over that that now.

I know you were asking Rob, but I think the table was good enough to stay at, but bad enough that I would have been smart to peruse the lobby. If I found something better I would have moved on. Otherwise I don't think I would have quit until I felt tired or didn't want to play anymore.
