Hm, maybe I didn't explain it properly, b/c I wasn't trying to say something like that. The point was that you want the people on your left to be nits and the people on your right to be loose. Now if the nit on your left 300bb or a shortstack, doesn't really matter. Ofcourse I rather have a 200bb loose player to my right, but if I can choose between a 200bb nit or a 40bb loose shortie, then the shortie is probably the one who is going to be paying you off a lot more easily than the nit.
This is all from my personal experience btw. I used to sit down according to stack sizes - but I simply noticed after a while that having the loose people who play a lot of pots with you (whether they preflop raise a lot or are calling stations) on your right were the tables I made the quickest profit. Take the situation where to your right is a 500bb guy and to your left is a 100bb guy. Looks pretty good, but in practice if the 500bb guy is a total nit and the 100bb keeps entering pots with you, you'd have been better off if they were reversed.
Hope that explains it better what I mean.
