When the station is on your right, life is good.

When the station is on your left, it can become tricky.

What adjustments do you make while waiting for a seat to open up to his left?

i use a hand range that's more like i would use if i was playing a shortstack or cap nl, and then just valuebet and fold to resistance with medium/strong hands. its real annoying when you're running cold though, because the station behind you always prices in other people to call you pf, and you have to keep throwing your cards away when you miss flops.

Tighten up your preflop raising, cbet less if it's heads up w/ the calling station

I hit as many flops in a session today as I probably ever will. I had 3 passive nits on my left who saw almost every flop but folded on the flop each time. I hit queads on the flop once, made them on the turn, flopped a straight, a flush, trips about 3 times all in 200 hands. That is my good hands quota filled for another 2k hands. I ended the session down becuase I got literally no action on my made hands. I wish I had stations on my left!

Basically bet your made hands and don't c-bet without hitting would be my advice.
