Setup Preferred Seating For Party Poker

Overview:
This FAQ shows you how to configure preferred seating to work with Holdem Manager and Party Poker.




Solution:
First we need to verify we have preferred seating enabled in Party. To do this go to Party Lobby > Preferences (Left Menu) > Table Options > Seating

Select your preferred seat in Party Poker
In the preferred seat window in Party you should notice the dropdown list is showing 10 seat table. You need to set the preferred seat for each type of game you play i.e 2,6,8,9 and 10 seat table, most times youll just have to configure HU, 6max and 9-10 max tables as these are the most popular. You can select your favourite seat simply by clicking on the radio button beside your seat and the radio button will become checked. If you only play 6max and 9max games for example then you only need to setup the preferred seating for 6max and 9max both on Party and HM.


10 Seat Table - Below in this example we choose seat 3 as our preferred seat in Party so we must also go to Holdem Manager > Hud Options > Seating Preferences choose Party from the dropdown list and for 10 max choose seat 3 so they match up.

Important Note:
 Seating preference only works after we sit down and play a couple of hands not straight away, it does not work while we are observing tables so never move the stats box into their positions while observing or if youve played less than 3 hands. The first time you setup seating preferences just open 1 table, play a couple of hands and move all the stats boxes on that table to the correct places, then open a 2nd table, wait for 3-4 hands and the hands should line up fine then. 

The biggest mistake people make is to start moving the boxes too soon without allowing time for a couple of hands to import because they dont line up until a couple of hands have imported. Also if your having issues with preferred seating make sure WYSIWYG is ticked in Hud Options / Table Preferences
