As you can garner from the posts already, this is completely a matter of style.

noelsarches likes tight-passive games where he can play in a style comfortable for him. SpeakEasy likes big pots and likes to sit downwind of the LAGs (he's a very good player and this is textbook stuff).

Personally, I don't have my zone down for NLHE yet but in 6max LHE I'm just looking for HUGE pots with people willing to mix it up with me. I don't care if they are playing tight, I just want the BIG pots. My style is completely aggro, routinely 3betting things like KQo when I'm on the button. Even LAGs don't know how to handle me. I'll take them anywhere at the table, if they have position I just become a check-raising monkey. One thing I do try for is to get the very tight players in the two seats behind me. I don't mind getting 3bet from these guys, it tells me I'm definitely running uphill for the hand and defines my position well. Getting 3bet from LAGs means I have to cap it lots of times and then I've gotta actually play postflop. If I have two rocks behind me that means I get the button three times per orbit most of the time. mmmmmmmBOP!

Basically, I don't mind LAG play behind me in LHE, I'll just check-raise the dummy. I find it far easier to play OOP against a LAG than a TAG or TP player.

edit: oh yeah... when you find tables with big pots and a low plrs/flop % you have found a goldmine of people that simply cannot play postflop very well. That is my ideal environment. I can play a lot of hands and outplay the rocks postflop. I love people who can't lay down aces.
