favorite seat position at a casino?

[BISCO]

mine would definitely have to be the 1 seat...when i'm shitfaced at foxwoods, i love to rap the tokes on the tray and put them in the box myself

[Dynasty]

At a 10-handed table, I prefer 3 or 8.

If I sit down at the first hand I try to get the 1 seat most of the time. Where I play this allows me to have my back to the wall so no spectators and I can see the board well. It also lets me talk to the dealers pretty easily which is always nice.

Of course the best seat moves around so I try to be on the right of the maniac after the game gets moving.

The 3 and 4 seats are the worst, same with 7 and 8 because sometimes I cannot see the board very well. Tonight I was in the 2 seat and I missed a bet because I didn't notice that the board paired to give me a full house to be the other guys obvious flush. That's what I get for sleeping with my contacts in this afternoon.

Wait, you want to be on his right? So that whenever you call, you have to wonder if he's going to raise? So that whenever you play a hand with him (which is often) he'll have position on you?

I think you must have meant on his left. It's pretty hard to isolate the maniac if there are 8 players acting between you.

If he's someone who loves to raise any hand, then being on his right is fine. This allows you to lead and have him raise to face the field with 2 cold when you need protection, and check-raise to trap when you flop a monster.

I have to go with the 5 or 6 seat with the longer tables... It's easier to see the board, and those who have cards in the 1 and 10 seats. Nothing worse than sitting in either the 1 or 10 seats, and continually acting out of turn because you can't see the opposite side's cards...

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

I hate 1 and 9 (at CP, the tables seat 9), mostly because I feel cramped in the space next to the dealer, and hit my knees of the drop boxes.

[NoRiverRats]

No question about it - 3 or 8.....

[toots]

I thought I was the only one who liked 1 for that reason.

The five or six seat for me. Right in front of the flop and I can sit back and relax in the chair. No need to reach over the table or squinting to see what hit on the river.
