I'm kind of confused, sometimes if I am sitting alone at cash table and a new player sits in I get button and they are BB, but sometimes they sit in as button and I am BB. I did a little experiment and I am still confused. Someone was sitting alone at a table and I sat to left of button on one table and I was button and opponent BB, but I tried the same thing on a different table and I became BB on that one. I'm just trying to understand how the system works, thank you in advance for helping.

Thank you. So just to clarify, if I am at a full 6 or 9-max table and the game breaks, but I stay sitting. Then a few minutes later someone new sits down headsup against me, it is 50-50 who will get the button?
