What is the effect of seats on SCORE?
Although the bars do not appear to be much different in the previous chart, the overall effect on SCORE is significant. The first set of three bars in this chart shows the SCOREs for the players in seats 1, 2 and 3. There is a clear difference. The second set of bars gives the SCOREs for two players at a six-deck table sitting in seats 1 and 6. There is substantially less difference even though these players are separated by five seats. This is due to the facts that at six decks the percentage differences in penetration between the two seats are far less, six-deck games are more reliant on betting and less on play, and six-deck games are dealt face up so you already see most of the other players’ cards.
In six-deck games other criteria may be more important in seat selection like ability to see all the cards and the shoe, or space to switch to two hands.
