What type of players do you want at your table? (LC)
So, in order to settle a little argue between me and a friend of mine, I'm turning to 2+2 for help. I realize this is a vague question. But in general, what kind of players would you want at your table in a standard online MTT (no rebuys).

Re: What type of players do you want at your table? (LC)
In a STT, I'd be more tempted to say only tight passives, because you'd be able to consistently cash, even in those tournaments which you get dealt absolutely no hands.
In an MTT, you need to accumulate many many chips for best chance at big cash, so assuming that you're talking about the FIRST table in an MTT, I'd rather all maniacs. If just the final table, my answer would be the same as for STT.

I know the question was for MTTs only. I was just expanding my opinion on the contrast, which might prompt more discussion.

If we are assuming the tight passives will not shif gears as the blinds rise, it's not even close.

Re: What type of players do you want at your table? (LC)
Even in an STT I would want a table full of maniacs rather than tight passives. Tight play early would result in the oter players knocking eachother out. And you would probobly only need to catch a good hand once or twice to have a great chanche to double/triple up. In my opinion the value of the mistakes a maniac makes greatly outweights the missing value of fold equity.

no contest, I'll take a table full of rocks all day long. A maniac can be dangerous, they can draw out on you, and they get good action on their made hands. I'd rather grind the rocks down to pebbles.

If I wanted to make as many and as big mistakes as possible I would play like a maniac, and not tight passive.
