I guess I do not understand where you are coming from with your comments. IMO, table selection is about finding tables where the players are worse than you and trying to sit relative to players with certain amounts of money and certain playing habits. IMO, having a tight playing, tiny stacked nit to the left is a great thing. I feel your comments are saying that is invalid or unrealistic because such a player would be a bad player. I agree that they are a bad player; and they are the exactly the type of bad player I want on my left and I find them with some regularity. I estimate 1/5 to 1/3 of the tables I play, I have just such a bad player to my left. As I mentioned, it is not my top criteria, I want loose money on my right more. But if I can have both, I go for both.
If you are saying that the amount of money they have is unimportant, I disagree. Them having little money completely eliminates the chance of you making a big mistake with regards to someone who is yet to act.
