Setup Preferred Seating For Poker Stars

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





Solution:

First we need to verify we have preferred seating enabled in stars. To do this go to Stars Lobby > Options > preferred Seating

Select your preferred seat in Poker Stars
In the preferred seat window in stars you should notice the dropdown list is showing 10-player table. You need to set the preferred seat for each type of game you play i.e HU, 4,6,8,9 and 10max, 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 over the seat and a red check mark will appear. 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 stars and HM.



Verify your preferred seat in Poker Stars matches with your preferred seat in Holdem Manager

10 player Table - Below in this example we choose seat 3 as our preferred seat in stars so we must also go to Holdem Manager > Hud Options > Seating Preferences 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.

There may be some 4max/8max tables i didnt refer to above but as you can see from the examples above seat no 1 is always the 1st seat to the right of cashier and works around in a clockwise manner.
