    I finally got down to Foxwoods to play in the game. It certainly was as advertised. Loose, many to the flop, big pots there for the taking with patience. There were a few good players at my table to be carefule of, but enough loose cannons and people who came by to drop $100 or $200 in fifteen minutes with A8 etc. to make it profitable. Second pair was played like a set on some hands.

    Anyway, I noticed a guy get a 1st seat change button and was wondering what that was. Basicially I'm hoping someone can quickly breakdown the rules about switching seats or tables. I'd like to be able to move to a table if I recognized some weak links or if I feel that I'm not comfortable where I am.

    Thanks....

    I get them all the time because i enjoy sitting in the 3-4-7-8 Seats...its just a better view of the table in my opinion...

    "These buttons are given to a player upon request, and signify that the player has first choice of seats, if the opportunity to move arises." Like pocketjack said, most players request this in order to take advantage of certain players at the table by playing behind them or in front or just for a better view of the table overall.

    It's been many years since I played live, but you used to just get on a list to change tables. Seek out whichever List God is endowed with this power.

    These are seat changes on just your table. i dont believe you can mave from table to table.
    Basically if someone gets up from your table, the guy that has the 1st Seat Change button, has the 1st option to take that seat. 2nd Seat Change button, would have 2nd, etc.

    You request a seat change from the dealer, and if someone leaves the table you get the first option to take their seat. I don't like playing in the 1 or 10 seat next to the dealer all that much so I might switch then...also if you have a guy to your left who calls every preflop raise and steals your position, you may prefer to move to his left to beat up on him.
