Choose your seat (complex)

We should sit between 3-4. The guy in seat 5 is going to feel like he got drunk in the bar and wound up knifed, robbed, violated and left for dead by the dumpster in the back alley at the end of the session. Tight passive guy who never bluffs in the big blind when we are the button? He will talk about the session in therapy. And seat 2's ultra aggression when he is the button and I am the big blind doesn't scare me really, just have to figure out where he is going to dump the chips, on the flop or on the turn.

Tstone gave us a table with a terrible player, an aggro-LAG and a likely 42 VPIP.

And you're eyeballing the tight-passive guy for his chips??

I am heartened that my quick choice -- between 4 and 5 -- is supported by at least a few here (at least before those players were described further by OP). To me, the most important considerations are: player 2 is very agg, and player 4 is very loose passive. I really hate being to the right of a VLP.

I like your plan but I also really [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] having a tight passive guy in the SB when I raise and a loose passive guy who misses bets in the BB. So I take between 4-5 and feel very happy there.
