You should completely exclude the game with stack size less than 100bb on the regular tables, and 200bb on the tables with straddle. |
Stack - all the chips with which the poker is sitting at the table and are available for making bets. The player's stack size is always measured in relation to the size of the minimum bets accepted at the table.
As the stack size decreases, our winrates also begin to drop proportionally. On the other hand, the deeper our stack, the higher our winrates.
AI shows the highest win rates winrates when playing with a stack of 200bb+. Slightly worse, but also highgood, when playing 120-200bb. It is important to note that when playing with a mandatory straddle, 200bb is exactly 200 big blinds, not 200 straddle.
...
Straddle - is a double preflop bet "blindly" , that is, when the player has not even seen his pocket cards yet, but already raises the bet. Usually straddle is performed by the person sitting after the big blind.
when playing the obligatory at tables with straddle, you should keep a stack of 200-450bb, and then according to the situation. If there is a fat big fish (amateur/recreational player) with a stack of 350bb+, then it is beneficial profitable for us to have a stack of the same stack size. If the fish has a small stack, and the regulars (strong/professional players) are sitting with deep stacks, then this creates potential risks for us, and in such a situation it is better to change the table and re-buy;
when playing on at regular tables without straddle, 120-200bb stack is preferable to 200bb+ because the risks in such a game will be less. But then again, if there is a bigdeep-stacked fat fish at the table, we benefit get advantage when our stack overlaps itcovers him. After all, an amateur is more likely to make mistakes when playing a large pot, which increases our mathematical expectationexpected value (EV).

Avoid playing HadsUp Heads Up (this is a one-on-one game). The only exception may be when you are 100% sure that you are facing a very weak amateurfish. However, as a rule, there is a struggle fight for such a players online, which means that another strong player (reg) will sit at your table almost instantly. If this does not happen, then most likely you are not an amateurthis opponent is not a fish. |
Table Select Recommendations
Select is a key factor that influences your profit. The winnings in poker are formed at from the expense of the losses of other players. If an average avarage regular player is playing against you, then you will win against him, but significantly less than against an overtly obviously weak player (fish).
Simply by choosing weaker opponents (table select), you can increase your winnings several timesdramatically. You definitely should definitely not ignore this possibilityopportunity.
Another very important element of the game is to understand is the rake or commission of the game organizers(commission), which is taken from almost every hand. The average rake is 8bb/100. This means that as soon as you get into the game, you already have a priori negative winrate due to the rake.
Rake is a commission that an online poker room takes for organizing a game.

Winrate is an indicator of a player's performance, expressed in bb/100, i.e. which means the average number of big blinds a player wins for every 100 hands played. Not to be confused . Do not confuse with $/100, which expresses the average amount of money a player wins for every 100 hands.
...
In order to "beat" the rake and achieve positive results, you need to win enough money, which will cover the rake first and secondly ensure your winnings.
The more powerful the stronger players at the table, the more difficult it is to “beat the rake”. The better you "select", the higher your winrate, which means you will be less susceptible to down streaks (the influence of variance), as a result, your results will be more predictable and stable.
Recommendations for finding weak players:
try to find frankly an obviously weak players (VPIP 60+);
...
the more weak players (VPIP 40+) at the table, the higher your winrate will be;
fish fishes often play with incomplete stacks (less than 100bb);
...
fish fishes are not bought top up to a certain fixed stack size (for example, when the stack is less than 80bb);
fish fishes limp a lot (call bb , and do not enter the hand game with a 2-3bb open raise);
Fishy fishes cold-call a lot preflop, trying to see the maximum number of flops with all kinds of hands;
fish change the opening sizing depending on the strength of the hand (for example, a fish can open 2bb, and with premium hands open 3.5-4bb);
fish fishes don’t like to give up badly to three-bets 3bets (again, they try to watch see the maximum number of flops);
try to take a position at the table to the left of the fish (let's say there are two identical tables with the same weak player. If you sit to the left of the fish, your win rate winrate will be higher than if you sit to the right of the fish).
