Re: Having position: could it be mutually beneficial to swap places?
No it is not more profitable for both of you. If he sits to your left, and is a good player, he will be isolating you the rest of the night. When he is on your left he can play a larger range of hands and can reraise you with these hands. This consequently should slow down your style.
Now with these isolating attempts occuring one of two things can happen to the table. The table catches on to the isolations and starts calling the raises and reraising. Causing the table to loosen up. The other result maybe that the table does not catch on to the isolations occuring and will be forced to play tighter.
So to answer your questions, 1. No it is not more profitable for both of you. 2. The seating will force the table into one of two extremes, tighter or looser.
