I c the light.

Said light smacked me in the face 3 nights ago. I used to think I wanted TAGs on my left so I had position on them. But then I came across an old long thread where Evan was trying to explain to some dude why this was wrong. Suddenly it all made sense to me. In summary, you want fish on your right and TAGs on your left because:

-money tends to flow clockwise on a table, so you want bad players on your right and the good on the left. As Evan said, you want to focus on winning money from the fish
-you'll have the button more because the TAGS will fold more often when you are in MP3 or CO. As a follow up, you'll have better position on all flops with loosies on your right and tighties on your left
-your raises (with appropriately good cards) will get called more often by the fish because they will probably limp, and then "have" to call your raise after. If they were on your left, it would be much easier for them to muck their 95s (and the likes) against two cold.

How does that sound? Am I missing/misunderstanding anything. Evan, it's hilarious seeing you comment on this topic. Everytime it comes up in a thread, BAM, you chime in to enlighten everyone. gg and thanks.

EDIT: semi-hijack I guess. But the thread was moving this direction, so I don't feel too bad.
