WHERE SHOULD I SIT?

I sit down at a table and to my right is a tight player with £80 to my £10,I can change position, should I sit on his right? He has eight times my Cash.And he is not so aggressive.

Oh, I play NLHE .

Since I posted this, I realised, I called him tight after watching him play just one hand!!
He is a player who calls every turn, he gets sucked in without any encouragement whatsoever.


I think he is Donkey Fish. Should I he after him or before him?

As a general rule, I believe, if you are playing TAGG poker, you would like to have all the loose aggressive players to your right so that you have position on them. When they bet/raise you can get out of the way without a real hand, and then postflop you can see what moves they are making before you have to act (easier to raise or lead when you have to).

You want the tight passive players to your left so that when you are in position to steal (BU,CO,SB) then you will be raising into a player who plays only a few hands.

If that were reversed (loose passive on left and tight on right), you would have to act not knowing what the crazy maniacs are gonna do behind you, and because the loose aggressive players play more hands they are also generally willing to fight for their blinds as well, making successful steal attempts hard to come by.

Another facet of having really tight players to your left is that you can attack their blinds over and over and over.

What spoon said.

Also, in general, I like the huge stacks to my right. If they're not maniac loose and agro postflop, shorter stacks to my left in lots of configurations are fine. Because of the blinds and positional advantages, money flows clockwise around the poker table, so try to sit to the right of big stacks and to the left of small ones.

Think you meant to say sit to the left of the big stacks and to the right of the small right Robb?

Thanks for the save, Blue.

Live yes, online no. (with the exception of some multi-tabling short stackers who I don't mind giving position to.)

Who has the money is much more important than how much they have.

In general, I believe huge or aggressive to my right to str8t across, if possible. But in a tourney whatta ya gonna do!!!!!!

Having more money can mean more than position?

So I would guess to the left of a loose player with a big stack.

Having short stackers to you left is not cool because then you have to tighten up your opening ranges I dunno where you get that from robb.

I agree with FlowJoe
