Any ideas? Correct me if i'm wrong, a table is good if I have position on tight players and give up position on loose players. Or is it the other way around?

if you play TAG then a good, profitable table for you would be a table that had lots of loose players....

Generally speaking, other way around. Ideally you'd have the laggs on your right and the rocks on your left...

More info needed. Are villains aggressive? Tricky?
I'll give a generic answer with an additional category of 'smart Lagg' (a Lagg who plays well post-flop)
  • loose players - on my right; I want to raise/re-raise to isolate them as much as possible; also I want position since I'll be playing more pots with them.
    tight players - on my left; they'll play fewer hands (esp against a raise) so giving them position is not a big deal. If they raise/re-raise they have something good; play accordingly.
    smart Laggs - across the table. These guys are a pain. Having them across the table minimizes the hands you'll play against them.
[/list]
