This does not mean you should perve at your hot neighbour before you play poker online, even though it’s a good way to get your spirits up before a game. What I mean is, you should watch the tables and the players before you take a seat. Never rush into a table just because there is a seat open. You have an advantage when playing cash games online so use it. Narrow your table options down and open the windows so you can watch the tables. See how other players are playing and decide on the best seat for you. It is important to remember that the profit usually comes from the right and often it will be the two or three seats to your right. You want to recognise who would be the best player to have seated to our right as that player will almost always act before you, giving you the positional advantage 90% of the time, when playing in hand with him. Everyone knows the advantages of being in position but few players really know how to use it to their advantage. With online poker you can really get the most from this and see what sort of players are at the table and decide where you would have the advantage before you even take a seat.
