Default Re: Why can\'t we change seats online?

They go out of their way to make online games look and play as much like live as possible, so why can't we change seats?

The first time I played online I tried to drag myself to an empty seat, assuming it would work. It seemed so obvious to me. Now that I have PokerAce, I really, really want to do it.

It would be a very simple matter, first player to click on an empty seat gets it reserved ahead of any new players coming in. Move the next hand, just like live. Handle posting just like live.

The ability to do this would be ++++EV.

This would wreak havoc in games with 9 players. Someone would be wanting to change seats constantly, and since the players get a head start in the line, no one would be able to take the 10th seat.
