3 of a Kind
I host a weekly cash game with a core group of six players along with one or two rotating extras out of a pool of about twelve.
One of the core regulars (who is arguably the strongest player in the group) frequently arrives an hour or two after we start playing. Like all other players joining the game, he will pick a seat and either waits for or posts a big blind to join the action.
After last nights game, I received a call from one of the other core players (probably the weakest player in the group) questioning the strong players tendency to always sits to his left and he asked me if he is allowed to sit wherever he wants when he arrives. He also asked for the rules on whether he can move to another position if the player keeps sitting to his left?
For tournaments we deal for seats but with cash games were normally start short handed with four players and players join in to open seats as they arrive. I have never had something like this come up before as it is a social game with no one losing more than a couple of hundred in a night.
Any thoughts or advice are appreciated!
