Musical chairs seating games in live pokers. Rant - Page 3 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

I usually change seats to see the cards better but people are free to change seats as they please for any reason. Needling them for doing something that's their right is not likely to change their behavior. Is "strategic" seat changing "good for the game"? Maybe not. Who knows. Either way you can't tell other people what to do. I mean you can but they don't have to and generally won't listen to you anyway. So overall the topic is probably moot.

Best post in this thread.

I have the right to bring Chipotle to the table and cut the cheese incessantly for 8 hours. I also have the right to call you a fat (or skinny) tub of ****. 'merica, dammit. Both of those, too, are bad for the game.

Make sure to cross-reference this thread the next time we have a thread along the lines of "I can beat 2-5, so why can't I be a partner at Ernst & Young? What soft social skills could I possibly be missing?"

Quite frankly I'm very happy to be breaking even or even down a little if just one whale can be affected by seeing a table still going full of action. But sadly while some regs in Vegas and I assume LA get it, worldwide so many regs just always think "oh you're not a fish I don't wanna play you shorthanded so I leave.." I mean, tbh at that time of the night if it's short we could even just sit there with stacks and wait instead of racking up.. hands don't even need to be dealt.

Few regs in LA seem to get it, very few. Stupid f*cker$ will actually rack up as soon the fish gets up, and tell the guy to his face he made the game. Blows my mind every time.

I have a question for all:

What is the point of changing seats/do you see a profit margin from doing so?

To be honest, everytime I try and change my seat to gain an 'advantage' Karma bites me in the pooper and I lose more bc I am trying so hard to use my seat change to my advantage.

If you are going to be a winning player at a table, it shouldn't matter what seat you sit in.

i already said i dont change seats for this reason, but there is obvious value even if you would win from another seat

the best is when there are more than one open seats and a new player (lag or good tag) comes to sit down- one of the seated players snap steals the new players seat (for position).. its so blatantly obvious but people will still come up with lame excuses.. 'I keep hitting my knee'.. lol
