Seat position question...

[dutch81]

I can't get the right seats in a filter.

Villan raised from 2P but notes he was HJ, they're all messed up.

Could you tell me what numbers are UTG through MP?

(Just to be clear - "seat number" and "position" are completely separate. You stay in the same seat for every hand (except for fast-fold games) but your position changes every hand as the button moves.)

The big blind is always position 8 and the small blind is always 9. The button is 0 (zero), the cutoff is 1, and the numbers continue to increase like that.

Thanks again, I appreciate the help.

I'm going to start playing 9max MTTs again and I want to make a few custom notes. I tried to make some but some positions are not coming out right. Can you list the position by numbers excluding the blinds and button please? Those are working just fine. For some reason, the note is writing wrong positions for UTG to CO. I had made a bunch of note for 6max cash and those are of no help for FR positions.

Also, if there are less than 9 people at the table due to table balancing, how will this affect the note taking? For instance, if the UTG spot is empty because someone got knocked out or transferred, the very next hand, if UTG+1 is dealt the first card of the hand, is that position considered UTG or UTG+1? Sometimes there are less than 9 players seated and I'm wondering if that is causing incorrect positional notes or is it my user error?

For those numbers you can refer to the grid in this guide.

I appreciate it, I was looking for this.
