This is wrong. You definitely want the fish to your right so that you can manipulate them more. Isolate them with a raise pre-flop, let them call one early bet then raise so they'll pay too much for the next card, etc. Sure, you want the LAGs there too, but really, you want everyone there.

...which is impossible. Read psychology of poker, it has some great advice about seat selection. Whereas it's cool to isolate fish on your right, that usually means you have someone less desireable on your left, i.e. a good player, and they'll be getting the best of you with position. Think about it, you want docile and tranquil players acting behind you.

Heh, I was being sarcastic with the bolded part.
I'd rather have the "docile and tranquil" players to my right, like I said. With players who cold-call less to your left, you can push them out of pots more-- even if they see what you're doing. Plus, the tighter the players to your left (and the looser the players to your right), the more likely you are to have position on any given hand.
