Why does a 6-max cash game professional typically prefer to sit 'to the left' of an aggressive, recreational player?

1. It allows the professional to post their blinds less frequently.
2. It makes it harder for that player to see the professional's cards. (under this line)
3. It results in paying less rake (R) when playing against them.
4. It ensures the professional has 'position' on that player for most of the night.
