Players, Tables & SeatingHow-to
Seat players and read the seat grid
Assign seats, see every table at a glance, and let players find where they’re sitting.
The seat grid is your map of the room — every table, every seat, and who’s in it. Poker Hawk can seat players for you as they check in, or you can place them by hand.
1
Open Tables
In the live controller, open the Tables view. Each table shows its seats; empty seats are open, filled seats show the player.
2
Auto-seat on check-in
By default, checking a player in drops them into the next open seat and balances the fill across tables. Nothing to do — they get a seat automatically.
3
Place a player by hand
Tap an open seat and pick a player, or tap a seated player and choose Move. Use this for reserved seats or to keep friends apart.

Players see their own table and seat on their phone and on the seating display — so “where do I sit?” answers itself.
