What I Look for in a Table

What are the ideal low-limit table conditions? The answer from the books is simple: "calling stations," or loose-passive tables. But what do you really want if you consider yourself the more skilled player:

1. People who will fold pre-flop. I know that Ed Miller and other writers I respect say that bad callers pre-flop are good for you because of the concept of pot equity. But with a ton of bad callers, it becomes like an unraised pot - it's very difficult to believe the flop missed everyone, and even harder to read hands. People have any two suited cards, any ace, 87o, K5o, 22, you name it. If you raised with KQs in early position, there is no way you're winning this hand. All that happened is you lost two small bets instead of one.
   
   
2. Do you want maniacs? I'd argue you don't. Maniacs make it very difficult to slip into pots, and very difficult to pound strong-but-vulnerable hands like AQo. If he calls any raise with J3s against your pocket tens, it really hurts when he rivers that one jack against all your bets. I'd prefer a somewhat reasonably player who will fold to a continuation bet on a dry board. Of course, if everyone were like that, there would be no money to be made in online poker.
   
   
3. I'd like one reliably over-aggressive player. That way I can use a check-raise effectively. With loose-passive players, they'll check if you check, call if you bet. But they won't bet their own hands. I've seen players check all the way with a four flush and a pair.
