Table Selection

I now have $2.93, so I'm playing two 0.01/0.02 tables. Here table selection is very important, so I'll explain why I've choosed this two tables.
These two tables are populated for 100BBs or more buy ins, so they have to be carefull with the other big stacks. Plus, both tables have another shorty, the shorty is a danger cause he does not need much of a hand to push (as the big stacks are worried that another big stack can have a monster and so they have to fold).
So, I've found these two tables, where I have the shorty seating right before me. This has a couple of advantages:
  • I know when the shorty can end playing for stacks, so I can fold medium strength hands. When the shorty has limped, othe players have to be cautious about raising with hands that are not monsters, as the shorty can push.
  • My blinds will be probably less attacked, as they see two shorties on the blinds.
  • I don't have to care when I attack other blinds from late position about what the shorty is going to do, I have that information in advance.
