Do you hunt bad players?


Hi,

I've read that good thread here about taking notes online notes and I wonder now if you are used to hunt the bad players you've found on a daily basis?
I mean searching them for x minutes on the tables before seating.
(I bet it's quite impossible on major poker rooms but perhaps on high limit tables it is or on smaller sites, don't know... )

I don't take the time to look for specific players, but while browsing tables if I see a familiar face I might stop and smell the roses

When choosing my tables, I first look at the flop% and hands/hour, then I look at the list of players. There are some very good players that I don't want to play with unless I got position on them. Secondly the players have a little note behind the names so I get to instantly see who's who. If there are players I already know are weak, I definetely go at those tables and try to hunt them down at some point.

Can I ask you if you're more playing on high limit tables or playing on tons of average/low tables?
I thought high limit players would give much more weight thant that to hunting bad players, make sense

No high limits for me. I'm satisfied at playing NL100, 4 tables at a time. I make a fairly good profit from those tables, get to pay my bills and put something on the side as well, I'm happy with that. Leaves my salary from work to do what I please. Sometimes I play a few NL200 sessions, probably 2-3 times a month, but that's about it. Apart from notes, there are usually always weak players at both limits, so gotta target them along the way.

i may look for weak players but in the end one of them will get you
for example last week on walker this hand still pisses me off i go to this table 0.50/1 deep because this guy is there that absolutely sucks and under his notes i put (what a dumb ass all in for 250 with a4 os blinds 1/2) and another guy i played with before.
i sit at the table 150 get to 250 first hand off him and later after he rebuyed for 200 he goes all in pre with a9 !! gets called by someone with kings and rivers trip 9s thats a wowww
next hand i pick up aa in bb he raises huge again so i just went all in knowing no matter what he will call and he does with kj rivers k high str8

And more bad beat stories, awesome...

I play at a site with a somewhat limited number of tables at my limits, so I have a choice only very rarely. If i see a nice table with some donks there, can be sure I'll be right on my way there :P
