I don't see how it is smart for the bad player to move to the right of the 2+2er.

If you are bad you are going to lose no matter what, but he is going to lose more sitting to the right of the 2+2er than when he has position on him. If I'm wrong on this, tell me why.

You're not necessarily wrong, but what's to say that this guy is bad? You're assuming a lot in this statement about the quality of both players.

A good player, in limit poker, is generally a tight, aggressive player. Being a good player, he will recognize you as a good, tight, aggressive player. He'll be avoiding you, and you him. You'll have the poorer playing opponents in the pot for you to decide what to do before he can act. He'll be laying down hands behind your raises that he would have been raising with himself had you not acted first. I'm not worried about him being on my left because I'm not limping in with garbage for him to take advantage of me. But I am raising with good cards before him so I can take advantage of the fish, and I know he'll respect my raises.

With the loose players on your right, you'll have position, post-flop, on lots of hands. With the poor players on your left, they'll be cold-calling your pre-flop raises a lot, and you'll find yourself in the middle post-flop on lots of hands. Loose fishies to the right, tight aggressives to the left.

Its not really much of a stretch to assume that 99% of the 4-8 players @ commerece are pretty terrible

You forgot about the guy who asks for a new setup every 10 minutes. Getting a new setup pisses me off b/c those things aren't cheap and you can request one every 20 deals. Ugh.

I hate these dooshbags. I've asked for a deck change ONCE in my life-when the player next to me was able to tell me what one of my cards was before I looked at it.

My last B&M visit was at a casino where the policy was players could ask for deck changes virtually as much as they want, but a deck did have to complete at least 1 orbit around the table. One annoying redneck literally asked for a deck change everytime he went 2 hands without winning. The dealers had to keep telling him "We've got to go around the table, sir." He'd ask again next hand [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
