This is one of my biggest leaks I think.
Am simply too lazy to employ a decent table selection.
All I do is open the tables with the highest % seen flop and thats about it.
If the table is full with too many SS, I'll leave; And rarely when an aggressive reg is sitting to my left I might leave as well.
So how do you table select?

I watch the table for a min or two and see if I see anything I would like to play against (aka. horrible players). I like tables with a lot of limping or a lot of aggressive action. A table filled with 18/9/2s I don't bother with - it is boring.
This is easier for me because I play only for fun, so I generally only play 2 tables, so it is not a hassle to table select.
Table selection is very important, and it will affect your profits a lot. 1 very bad player changes table dynamics _a lot_, and the better the player you are the more of that is going to reward you and not the others.

Meh, You can probably afford to select better but..
If I see one player at any table who I don't know or who is really awful with 500$+ I usually join (if I need more tables). This is my basis for selecting basically any table. That or a big VPIP

$500+ in what level?
And VPIP I presume you talk about few players and not just table average.
Yeah, when I play 4-6 tables I do look for at least one profitable player at my table. am not afraid of many $200NL regs, though there are a few that are harder to play against.

all, seeing I'm playing mostly 600+. If I play 600 and theres plenty of 1000,2000 going I'll need more than one player. And as for VPIP I do use the table average (for full ring this is probably better than 6max) because you can quickly identify the EZ tables when theres a wide selection (eg. when you feel like playing some NL400, or you just want to avoid the tables with like <10% VPIP).
