Here's what I do:

- On UB you can datamine with PT, so I do that alot and will generally just pick tables where I have lots of stats and can identify the fish
- Failing that, I look for anyone I have a note on
- Failing that, go for a high average pot (1/2 full buyin+ is a good number) and a high players to flop % (50+ is fisheriffic)

Beware that some sites don't update the table stats often so it can be quite misleading sometimes.

EDIT: I always want a table of full stacks, shorties really annoy me.

i look for highest pot + highest player to flop , lot of fishies swimming

I look for a high avg. pot size, and check back once or twice after I've been playing for 30 minutes to make sure it's staying active

You shouldn't need to check back. After 30 mins playing at a table you should have a better idea of whether you are in a +EV game than 2 stats in lobby can give you. If you can't see at least 1-2 donks leave table.

any table taht has big stacks more or less.

ppl on 2+2 say 6th sense is pretty sweet.
kind of gay to pay though.

1/2 full buy in average pot? What the fuck? I find tables with 1/5 full buy in hard to find!

avg pot > 5bb's

players/flop > 50%

ongame has plenty of both and the table stats can be seen when u click on each table in the lobby so its pretty easy to find those kinda games

Well spotted, typo. 1/4 tends to be about average on UB these days, so anything above that is just lovely.
