Re: Disagree with Ciafonne on seat position???

Another view (from HOH? Don't have it with me) is that you want a normal LAG on your right for all the standard reasons, but you want a super-LAG on your left.
In addition to the reasons Ciaffone mentions, if the super-LAG is betting/raising everything, the table will start to discount his hands, and call with hands they normally would not. This puts you in a great position to get the max from your monsters. You check to the super-LAG, he bets, and several opponents call. You can then raise, and most of the callers, with a bet already in the pot, will call you. They would have folded to an initial raise from you.
And as Ciaffone alludes to, with a super-LAG to your left, you have the virtual button in most situations.
Perhaps more to the point, you usually don't have a choice, you just have to live with the LAG being where he is. Especially online, and most especially in S&Gs. So you need to understand the pros and cons of each situation, and adjust your play accordingly.
