To me, that's what makes sitting there valuable - relative position preflop with the possibility of dead money and few callers when we get frisky enough to fold some of the dead money donors out of the hand.
If we want to max out our chances of having a range advantage, this will do it.
Ride the variance, buckaroo!
Yeah. I don't have a problem with any of this. There are different methods to exploiting this player type depending on where you're seated at the table in relation to them. That's why I think it's just a preference thing that comes down to what you're preferred strategy is.
