Re: how to play a super aggrsive player
He sits there because of superstition most likely. Assuming he was the only LAG in the game, I would attempt to sit opposite of him so that I could at least have position on him half the time and also get to see the reactions of some other players to his bets and raises. If you were playing with a very short stack then sitting on his immediate right would be best so that you could use his bets as a springboard to checkraise allin, particularly preflop with aces. The worst seats in relation to him would be the 2 on his immediate left because he would frequently guarantee you never get a free play in the blinds even when everyone folds to him preflop. Plus if you use that position to raise him with non-nut hands post flop when you think he is betting light, then you run the risk of him running you into the nuts held by a 3rd player behind you.
You have asked the key question regarding this game, and no matter how good you play, a bad seat in relation to this kind of player will often insure a losing session.
