Deciding where to sit

[FieryJustice]

I was basically just wondering how you you all decided where to sit in the high buyin sngs, such as $215's or step 5's. I used to pick a seat to where i had position on the good players, but recently, I have been picking seats where I let bad players have position on me. Sometimes these are the same and sometimes they are not. I was just wondering what some of you do.

I like to have position on good players, normal logic I assume.... Bad players don't understand position so will make the same plays nonetheless.

I guess the reason I would give bad players position on me is so that a good player cant come up and take the seat behind me to get position on me. In one recently, seats 457 were bad players, seat 6 being a good one. I took seat 3. Maybe I should wait a little longer to take my seat.

Well right, if there isn't a great player sitting down you want to sit behind then by all means give a bad player position on you.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do you guys know who the good players are?

If you play a fair amount of tournies, you'll start seeing familiar faces.

PokerProphecy can be ok for a "rough" guideline too.

Just so you know, Your first sentence in this post is pretty much the exact opposite of what you really want in STTs. Don't ask why, try to figure it out.

Let me guess: there is more value in being first to push late in the event than there is in acting last early in the event, where it's unlikely you both will be playing the same hand?
