High Average Pot Sizes
Hello,
I’ve just started playing at micro (.5/$1) tables on-line. Like the usual, before I choose a table, browser will first show a listing of the table name/number, with the number of players and the average pot amount. I believe the highest average pot tables with the most amount of players are the ones on top. Well, I understand why the amount of players in a particular table is significant but I can’t get the reason behind high average pot sizes. What’s the benefit of high average pot sizes? I know now that the optimum Low Limit Holdem table to play at should be a loose passive one. But I don’t know if this would result in average pot sizes being middle of the road compared to an aggressive table with high pot sizes, what do you think?
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Jiro
Jiro,
A table with a high average pot size is a table with a lot of action. There may be a lot of loose aggressive players at this table or a bunch of bad players that chase down hands. A high average pot size will typically mean more stack fluctuation but also greater odds of winning big pots. Loose passive games will have lower pot sizes as there typically isn’t a lot of preflop raising and a lot of raising in general.
