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.
