Seat change?
 

I'm not a big component of changing seats when running bad. I just figure it's all the same and it shouldn't matter. Well, after being dealt dead cards for 2 hours the 'hot' player cashed out and left...I took his seat.

The 30 minutes after he left was like a dream. Three full house, straights, flushes, and one 4/kind. Most of these hands were made on the flop or turn, I didn't need the river card..it was unreal. In all the years I have played I have never had a run of cards like that before. I could sense the table was getting pissed so I played the humble bumble..what else could I do? My stack was so big I couldn't stop staring at it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Maybe, there is something to a seat change after all.

What would there be to it, then?

Congrats on the nice win.

How do you know if your once previous unlucky seat will continue to be unlucky and your newfound lucky seat will continue to be lucky?

I sense a little sarcasm so i won't attempt to bash you :P

Please, spare me the banter. The sarcasm was meant to be a joke.

When I started playing poker years ago, I was always afraid of moving seats because I didn't know when my seat would get "hot". So if I left, I may be missing the "rush" I was about to get. After a few years of serious studying and playing, those thoughts simply disappeared.

You had a unique experience based on a seat change that was probably illogical. I'm glad you had that great run of cards. We could all use that once in a while.

Understand that you cant change a random event. Which i think was sorta said [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Your seat may get hot the second you leave.

If it makes you feel any better, I instantly understood that you do not seriously believe in hot and cold seats, and were just relating an amusing anecdote.

Subtlety is hard on the Internet; then again, some people are just dense.

P.S. I remember my absolute coldest streak at a B&M, Mirage 3-6. Without exaggeration, I didn't play a hand for 4 hours, except some blind hands folded on the flop. The guy running hottest left, and I took his seat. Partially just to be doing *something* different, partially to convince the gamblors I was one of them. Well, I got to spend the next two hours folding from a different seat :-)

proponent maybe?

Anyway, whenever I change seats I claim that my seat was "unlucky" or just uncomfortable. Usually, the change is for a more advantageous position at the table. Sometimes its just to be more comfortable.
