    <p>Maybe an article from Lee about the sad state of Cake Poker? The ridiculous slashing of guarantees with no timetable as to when they might return to normal?</p>
    <p>Glad he can find the time to write about game selection though.</p>

    <p>Another reason for not always leaving a -EV game is that it will be much more difficult to improve your own play,  if you only play against worse players then yourself.   </p>

    <p>Good article.  This site's focus, and that of most of its players, is tournament poker, where you never develop these skills.  I'm sure not understanding when to stay at a table, when to leave, and what I'm looking for in opponents is a primary reason why I have lousy cash game results.  Well, that, and my poker skills.</p>

    <p>great article, I play turbo 9 man sngs. It is my bread and butter as far as poker is concerned. You have to know who your main competition is and how you fare up against them. Also you have to ensure that you can't cancel each other leading to lower rois.</p>
