Re: Where do you want to sit in relation to different types of players?
[ QUOTE ]
I know that this surely has been discussed in general terms before, but I wanted to discuss it with respect specifically to 10 person NLHE tourneys. Suppose that you're the second person to pick their seat at a table. Where would you sit in relation to the following:
1. Bad player who will call with suspect hands, aggressive with average hands. In short, a LAG through all stage of tourney.
2. TAG. Understands gap. Very aggressive late. Passive early.
3. Defends his blinds too much when they've been raised late. Hard to steal from.
4. Player who loves to slowplay and checkraise at all stages of tourney.

This has come up a lot lately for some reason.
The thing is, STTs are not like ring games, because there are so many different phases. It would take forever to get a truly meaningful statistical read on all those phases, and to judge how to trade off all of those reads to maximize equity.
If you know the players who seem solid throughout, just sit as far away from them as possible, or find another table if too many are already there.
