Quick Seat

If you’ve ever played cash poker live, you know how frustrating it can be to get an open seat. You either call in hours ahead of time, or you bravely show up and hope something is available – and end up waiting around more often than not. Why waste all that precious time when you could play online poker at Ignition? By using the Quick Seat feature, you’ll never have to wait for an open seat, ever. Here’s how it works:

Why Quick Seat?

Time is money, and that goes double when you’re playing cash poker. Every hand you don’t get to play while you’re waiting for your seat is a missed opportunity, and a waste of your valuable time. With Quick Seat, poker will be at your fingertips right away, whether you’re at your desktop or playing on your mobile device.

What Are the Benefits of Quick Seat?

If you’re a recreational player at Ignition Poker, you can use Quick Seat to play the game you want to play without having to wait in line. If you’re playing professionally, chances are you’re multi-tabling; you can play up to four tables at the same time when you play at Ignition. That makes the Quick Seat feature four times as valuable, cutting through all that red tape and letting you get in as much volume as possible; the more hands you play, the more quickly you can build your bankroll.

Choosing the Game and the Stakes

You can play any cash game you want at Ignition by using Quick Seat (tournaments are not included, since they have a scheduled starting time). If you’re using your desktop, open the Ignition Poker Lobby and select “Cash Games” from the lobby menu. You’ll see the three game types available at Ignition: Hold’em, Omaha Hi, and Omaha Hi/Lo. Select the game you want, then the betting limit (No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit) and table size (two, six or nine), and hit the big red “NEXT” button.

Once that’s done, you’ll get to choose which stakes you want to play. You’ll be presented with a drop-down menu and a list of available stakes, which will depend on the game, betting limit and table size you’ve chosen. For example, if you want to play No-Limit Texas Hold’em (like most players at Ignition) at a 6-max table, the stakes range from $0.02/$0.05 all the way to $10/$20. At a 6-max Fixed-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo game, you can play anywhere from $0.05/$0.10 to $30/$60. Choose your desired stakes, hit the “TAKE MY SEAT” button, and start playing poker. It’s that easy.

How Does It Work on Mobile?

Not using your desktop to play? No problem: Quick Seat is included with the many poker mobile features at Ignition. Just log in directly to the mobile lobby and follow the same procedure, selecting your game type, betting limit and number of seats, then your preferred stakes.

How Does My Seat Get Chosen?

With Quick Seat, you’ll be taken instantly to the first seat available; in the rare event that all the tables are full, a new table will be created for you. Not interested in opening up your own table? Just sit out and use the Quick Seat function again.

How Do I Start?

If you haven’t already, the first step for taking advantage of the Quick Seat feature is to start playing in your web browser or you can download the Poker software and get the client up and running – again, that’s if you’re playing on your desktop. This is highly recommended if you’re a professional player or an aspiring pro; multi-tabling is a lot easier when you have a large display and a hard-wired internet connection. Recreational players, and anyone who prefers the mobile experience, can simply log in and use Quick Seat to get into a cash game.
