Well, I don't really think that I am lazy to table select. But there is pretty much nothing to select from.
I take all tables with plrs/flop 10 or more, then look at waiting lists and if there are many people already, I let the table go (since there are many shortstacks/regulars usually on these high plrs/flop table waiting lists), if there are 2 or less people on the list, I join it.
(I join all NL100 FR tables which are at least this 'good'.)
And that's Pokerstars. I can't imagine how you can table select on other networks/sites since for example on OnGame there are like 4 tables of NL100 FR running... how do you table select out of 4 tables if you want to multitable 20 games?
When I played on FTP, I tried to table select a bit better (avoid many shortstackers), since they only allow you to play 8 tables and there is a reasonable number of tables, it can be done.
I don't say that I never leave a table if it is bad. If I see, that 1 player is sitting out, there are 3 other shortstackers and the rest on the table are regulars, I sometimes leave.
About the other thing: Sometimes I timeout on a table and then I sit there until it kicks me after 3 rounds of missed blinds. Sorry about it, but I don't know about it, because the table is hidden behind many others (I sort of stack the tables). But this happens rarely.
Also I don't leave table until the hand where I was UTG is finished because otherwise you don't get VPPs for the hand.
But I don't think that it's an issue since the next player can sit after I leave and post a blind on CO 2 hands later, which is no worse than waiting for bb, because you get dealt 6 hands for 1 paid bb, while 'normaly' you get 9 hands for 1.5 bb. On 10handed tables (iPoker, OnGame) it's even better to post in CO compared to waiting for bb.
, but can be quite profitable, in the french community there are quite a few of them, and alot of threads and blogs about people who play this regularly at high stakes games, user written articles and videos as well.
