Seat Selection Question

[Raiser]

Besides all of the others that have been mentioned (which agree with) i wouldnt be too disappointed to come across T1S9... (prob because it looks like a tournie game! lol)

All with same stacks (new game?) good chance to get a tight image... once gets deeper then loosen up.

When on Button would have position on 3 LP players and two tag players in blinds... when in CO would have position on 2 LP players and an LP in the BB and a tag player on the button...

The only thing putting me off slightly is the stack sizes... but i would say the game has potential (?)

Ok in all fairness your description of players pretty much mean shit to anyone. Just because a player is TAG does that make him good??

I believe you could get a true picture of where to sit if you do how i do with my notes. If a player plays TAG they get a 1 - 5 rating. Basically 1 being good and 5 being bad.

Think about it Gus Hansen plays LAG but i class him as a LAG 1.

Maybe if we changed the player descriptions to fit this you will get a better respsonse on where to sit!!

Does this make sense or am i ranting?

When I first wrote out the post I had loads of categorys, but when I read it through it was to complicated. So I know what you mean, TAG is a shit description, but I think the descriptions given serve there purpose for this example.

Its means a bit more to me. Hence my plans on selecting seats are slightly different.

Okay, add to the layout I gave by adding your ratings to the side of each of the players. What it do?

Also interesting that you say unknowns are hard to play against. Considering the very broad player descriptions I gave, would you say the 'unknown' player is hardest to play against on that list?

I tend to play short sessions because my attention span is pretty crap, so unknown players are worse as there isn't always much of an opportunity to get a feel for how they play.
A good LAG is going to be the hardest to play against, but when you know they're a good LAG you can avoid putting yourself in bad spots. It's when an unknown player turns out to be a good LAG that it's bad, but that's not too often as there aren't all that many good LAG players out there at the level I play at.
TAG players are just boring and you're probably not going to make much money if any at all, but it's easy to play against.
