Re: Playing vs LAg and LP\'s
Sitting on their left to isolate sounds good in theory, but you'll never have any idea if your hand is good in relation to other people. In other words, you might push over a maniac raise with AK, only to run into KK or AA over on the other side of the table. Sitting on the right gives you the best chance to isolate because it means the other end of the table has to act, and therefore demonstrate the strength of their hand. If they're any good, they're also looking to isolate the maniac - this means that you can know if your AQ is likely to be good by the time the action comes back around to you, because they've all called or raised or folded. It will put a lot of dead money in the pot for you as well.
Sitting on the left is very dangerous - remember, all you're looking to do is get all the money in on the flop. Sitting to the left would be important if you were looking to play turns and rivers with this guy, but you're not.
