Question

On a 10 seat poker table, What seat would be the preferred seat and why?

Answer 1

well you can't pick your seats...but for me I like 5 and 6 because I can see the whole table, cards and players easily...

Answer 2

There is no preferred seat.

In B&M casinos you might have a preference for seat 1 or 10 since they are non-smoking seats but given most poker rooms are going smoke-free that isn't a factor at most locations. If you have bad eyesight you might want to avoid seat 3 and 8. Beyond that the only consideration would be your ability to see other players which might be harder from seat 1 and 10.

Online it makes no difference unless you are using a HUD and minimized tables in which case seat 8 is probably your best option so as to not have the stats block your hole cards

Answer 3

I don't have a numbered seat.  Normally, I want the big stack acting as close to right before me as possible.  This is the best way to avoid being bullied.

Answer 4

i like 3 and 7 so i'm tucked in the corner/round part

Answer 5

Since the blinds rotate around the table in a fair manor typicaly starting at a random location, all seats are equal and i would have to suggest picking the most comfortable looking seat with the most elbow and leg room.
