He has position on us when we are in the SB. We have position in the BB and the button - our relative position to him is the best it could be.

Eh? First off it's 4-handed. But this makes no sense anyway. He acts after us preflop unless we have the BB. He acts after us postflop unless we have the button.

But I've generally believed game selection is about the bad players. The monetary difference between an outstanding player and a good player is much smaller than the difference between a good player and a fish.

Yes.

I suspect you go into it hoping to hold your own against the WCP who usually has position on you...and the two of you are pretty much dividing up the fish's money (and you have better position on the fish then the WCP does).

I understand that....I just would hate playing against a super-star who is usually going to have position on me.

I'd rather be seated where I am than Boutros and I trading seats. He left the game pretty quickly and I did too when I realized the fish wasn't as fishy as he used to be (though still a losing player in this game).

Not only did I misread the game info(I thought it was 3handed) I thought boutros was the button. My last post is essentially gibberish b/c of my lack of reading comprehension.

In any sport or game you improve fastest by playing against the strongest possible opposition. This is the poker miracle of being paid while you learn.
