Seating question?

[jargey3000]

I play in a regular 6-7 man poker game with some friends. We keep stats & over the years 1 player has won more than anyone else by a fair margin.
We always sit in the same seating positions around the table.
Question: Is there any disadvantage to being seated to the RIGHT of this "best player" week after week?
Would appreciate comments, articles on the subject. Thanks.

Yes, because he has position on you in most pots

He will have position on u always, its hard to have a good player on ur left.

Try to change seat, and sit in front of him

It depends. Does he play nitty or loose? If he's a nit, keep on him your left, and steal his blinds and pots away from him. If he's on the looser side, definitely switch up the seating and get position on him.

I think switching up seating would be more fun anyways. I run a monthly home game, and we're always switching up where we sit.

You guys should be switching seat every game. Its actually quite unfair to always have the same seating arrangement.

We draw cards for seats and high card gets the BU and goes around counter clockwise with low card gettin the SB seat.
