Hi everyone
i have noticed a few times, players moving seats, i haven't given it much thought in past.

my question is why are they doing it, they are sitting on my direct left, then move to my direct right, have i been doing something wrong, or nothing to worry to much about.

    Lots of reasons. 

    If im honest its awkward to say, 

    a) they see you as a weaker player

    b) they find it awkward being OOP to you 

    c) favourite seat

    That made me lol, obv your not going to risk losing your chair by standing and sitting again just to get your fave seat. You just rotate clockwise or anticlockwise as necessary.

    People might not even be moving seats because of you. It might be somebody else they want position on.

    If I see a lolbad player I will move into the seat directly after them if it becomes free.

    Believe it or not there is people out there who do,. They have a "lucky" seat meaning they have to sit in that, and its not "lucky" if you rotate.

    Yeh i understand that might be there luck seat, but i was wondering if it might have been me, there again it could be the player in front of him, it just seemed strange, he didn't last long when he moved but it still seemed strange to me, still learning and thought it might be me.

    this play was to my right, followed me then moved to my left in front of me.

    I will always try to be to the left of a strong player (esp. TINTIN) even at my level of NL4.

    Highlighting that people can want position on strong or weak players.

    position is key to your play i aways want to be after players who are very tight and passive post flop.
