at a ten person table what is a good mixture of players you would like to have? i say three rocks, the manics and 4 newbies!

Why wouldn't you just want all newbies?

then you are more succeptible to luck biting you than you being on top! correct?

9 tight/passive players.

Sure, but when you win, you'd win way more than you would against more experienced players. As long as your bankroll is big enough to take the swings, you want your opponents to have as little experience as possible.

Furthermore, ones that never adjust to how you play.

Or loose/passive. Passive is the worst thing a player can be at the poker table.

As for a maniac at the table...well, it can loosen up some of the other players and make them play worse, so in some cases it can make a table more profitable. But if the other 8 players are still loose/passive or rocks, he's not helping, and he's a little harder to take the money from than they are.

I think I'd prefer loose/passive.
