does sitting with same weak players make poker rooms flag account activity

So I’ve been finding some pretty soft tables lately at my local rooms, usually with the same handful of regulars who just bleed chips. Sometimes we wind up sitting together several sessions in a row. I’m sticking around because it’s good for the bankroll, but I started wondering if poker rooms ever notice this and get suspicious, especially if the same accounts or players are cashing out more often when these weak players show up.

Is there any risk the room flags this kind of stuff as collusion or advantage play, even though I’m just taking the seat that’s open and not talking to anyone away from the table? Anyone actually had pushback from staff or know if it triggers any internal reviews? Curious what other regulars have experienced when it comes to consistently sitting with the same weak players.

Yeah, "local rooms" is the whole thing. Same soft lineup keeps showing up, people sit down. That's just tuesday.

Just sitting with the same weak players shouldn’t be enough by itself, but if the room sees coordinated play or unusual patterns between the same accounts, that’s when it could raise flags.

Seat math, sure, but rooms do notice obvious bumhunting. Sportsbook books limit patterns way faster than poker floors ever do!!!
