Hot Seat
A hot seat is a seat in a poker game where the players have had winning hands, so it looks lucky. Players may want to sit there.
The simple explanation
If the same chair often brings winners, players call it the hot seat. Some players even ask to move into it.
A closer look
The idea is superstition: the seat has no effect on the cards. Position relative to the button matters, but the chair itself does not. In real play, a good seat is one with weak, loose players on your right, so that you act after them, not one that seemed lucky.
A practical example
A player asks the floor to move to the seat of a player who just left, because the last three winners sat there.
