A loose-passive is a lot different than a tight-passive. You ALWAYS want a loose-passive on your right. Tight-passives go on the left.

Passive players, loose or tight, can go anywhere. What they do is call because that's just what they like to do, call. It's aggressives that we want such position. Tight on our left and loose on our right.

I disagree.

Let's say you have one of each type; Tight-passive, tight-aggressive, loose-passive and loose-aggressive. It matters very much where the passives go. Who wants the LAG or TAG isolating the LPP? No One. You want tight people on your left and loose people on your right....bottom line.

Ideally, you also want someone passive on your left (so you don't keep getting punished on your raises) but you don't want the loose guy there because other players will be iso-raising him instead of you. You also don't want a LAG on your left because even though he's loose, you won't have position on him often enough to capitalize and your hands will be very difficult to play.

That being said, optimal table arrangement for the 5 players (including us) listed above would be as follows:

Seat 1 - LAG
Seat 2 - LP
Seat 3 - US
Seat 4 - TP
Seat 5 - TAG

This table layout is not my opinion. It's an irrefutable truth...as the money in a poker game always flows clockwise.
