TD and relative position
Am I that wrong to think that in TD, unlike in hold em, it is better to have bad players behind you rather than in front of you? Or at least it's relatively better than in hold em.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure what you mean, in part because in hold'em you always want position on "the money". Can you give a few examples? TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Re: TD and relative position
Sorry, TT, I like to be opaque I guess. In hold 'em, one likes to be to the immediate left of limpers and generally loose players to isolate. Usually these are bad players. It seems to me that in TD having good players behind me means they are going to use their position against me more often, while bad players don't know how to use their position as well. I'd rather be in position against the good ones, I think.

So anyone who is going to give you a hard time at the table you want behind you, not in front of you. TD is a game where position is critical, you will both make extra bets and save bets due to position. T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I think it is, and many of us think about relative position relative to hold em. So we need to get away from that thinking, in much the same way we need to get away from the tendency to slow play, for instance.

Re: TD and relative position
Depends on what sort of bad players they are.

[/ QUOTE ] At a full table I want the biggest LAGs (like the player I described- on my left). 4-handed or less I want position on them. I hate a button who is always raising my big blind frequently. I love a player who plays badly in my small blind- but I would prefer him to be on the passive side I think- not sure it matters too much. I like having tight/passives on my right because it is easy to outplay them and they are usually very predicable. I'm sure we can name some different types of bad players but I can't think of them right now.
