prefered seating opinion

Sometimes I will move if I've been having a long spell of bad cards usually to a seat thats been having good luck. It shouldn't make any difference but it seems to.

Regards Guy

i,m not putting you down,but the entire line of thinking messes with me...if i start to beleive in a lucky seat,next comes cant lose tonight with 2-9 offsuit...ect ect..you get the picture...but the world is full of lucky card protectors,hands that cant miss,and lucky seats...when i,m not hitting i leave...but hey whatever works...he who dies with the most chips wins

Ok Sly.... this may sound a little old fashion or whatever, but I feel that I want a seat that I'm comfortable with. One that is easy to pick out quickly.... you know... when that buzzer, signal, or alarm goes off when it's your turn and you have to bet, check, or fold quickly. I know sometimes I'm playing 2 or more tourneys at a time and it sure makes it a lot more handy and efficient be able to go to the same seat in every tourney and site that you are on(if possible) quickly with your eyes and make that call or raise when time is a factor especially. I learned this quickly when I would end up losing out on a good hand because I couldn't spot my seat quick enough to make the call or raise or whatever.

I always select the seat at 6 or 5 o'clock(depending on how many seats are at the table I'm on) on whatever table or site I'm on and set it up on ALL my poker sites that way so I'll always be ready and comfortable with where I'm at. I also picked that seat because it is closest to your clicks for betting, calling, folding etc. Pitbull would be one exception here for my rule of thumb because, of course, it doesn't give you that option(at least I don't think it does lol). When I play on Pitbull or other sites that don't give you the option to use preferred seating, I generally don't play very many tables at a time(1 or 2 mostly).

Anyway that's just my take on it. If your comfortable and having no problems with where ever you sit... go for it. It's just something I've come to find out that for me... works best.

might be a little off topic but on sites that let you rotate table to pick your seat i like sitting across from dealer. bodog always sits you in the seat i'm talking about. when multi tabling tourny's it makes for a little less confusion than always trying to figure out where they moved you to when the table breaks.

Just a a question, not exactly related to seating, but to position.. are the first and last the good positions? which are the first and last positions? Why?


I know it's kind of a stupid question but I'm new to this and I can't manage to solve this question..

I dont know what number the seats are...but I would say that like phil...i like to sit 6pm or am across the dealer. I can't stand anywhere else, it looks and feels weird. If i am playing more than maybe 4 tables though, i'll move myself accordingly to fit them all on the screen....haha. picky picky.

Position matters to me.
Player on your right.
Player on your left.

The Seat doesn't make any difference IMO.

But Hey
Do what works and if it keeps working keep doing it.
If it's not working stop doing it and find what works.


Good Luck

I just grab the closest seat that is open when the music stops and going in butt first helps knock anybody else going for it outa there.....Oh wait thats the other musical chair game....n e v e r mind

The Butt first idea.
OMG so simplistic yet I never thought of it.
Perfect Strategy for a Perfect Win.

Butt First from now on.

Now I am thinking of a way to implement (Butt First) this into No Limit Texas Holdem.

Any ideas ???



Idea:
Hey maybe after each break.
Music Starts and round and round we go.
And I'm gunning for the Big Stacks chair.
