Isolating with the Gigabet Dilemma (long)

I think you are vastly overrating how much you can control who has what kind of stack and where they are on the table (even moreso online, where players are constantly moved).

The OP is specifically about FT, so players are not going to be moved anymore. Clearly there is a big advantage in having a better seat with regard to stack sizes and so, although applying advanced techniques would only make sense when your opponents don't simply suck. But at most normal online FTs you'll very often be sitting with few bad players around you (in any case, they are not WC, like the ones Giga mentions), so I don't see the value in making some -EV moves against them in order to manipulate the order of stacks at the table. But when players are great the picture is different.
