To choose a profitable table it involve skill mixed with observation. I always sit first and watch how others play before joining the table. With that, you'll quickly notice who is bluffing too often or who is playing safe. I avoid tables full of sharks and I go for the ones with casual players because there is easy money there. Sometimes I switch tables if the energy feels off to me.
 
Firstly, out your observation skill to work. Sit back at first and just watch how people are playing. You can start noticing patterns fast like people who bluffs too much, who folds all the time. I usually avoid the super aggressive players and go for the tables with more casual folks, makes it easier to pick up some wins. And if the vibe feels off, I don’t hesitate to switch tables. Better to be where you can actually play comfortably than struggling to play at all.
 
Look for tables with loose, passive players . they're your money makers. Avoid tables full of tight aggressive regulars unless you're really confident. Pay attention to stack sizes and who's playing a lot of hands. Once you're seated, spend the first few orbits just observing everyone's tendencies before making big moves. Adapt your strategy based on whether the table's loose or tight, aggressive or passive.
