How often do you leave a great game due to a poor seat?

So if you are SURE that your tight players are rocks, NOT TAG's catching krap cards, then sure, have the tighties on your left. But I'd like to think I've played the role of presumed tightie when my cards sucked fumes and then punished people for a couple of orbits when some decent cards finally showed up.

You seem to be missing the point that it doesn't really matter if the players to your left are TAGs (fairly tight) or "rocks" (very tight), since TAGs will still be playing fewer than 20% of their hands at a full-ring table. In addition, if I have a couple of calling stations on my right who are playing 30%-50% of pots and have both entered the pot ahead of me, I'm not going to be as concerned that the TAG to my left is putting a move on us if he raises (or reraises me), since he has to deal not only with me but the with calling stations in this quasi-protected pot.
