Grrrr

I am not one to moan........ well ok I am, but I'm slightly irked. 

I was having a lovely time on my MMT table when there was a 'balancing' transition and I was put on to a different table. 

Not only was I happy where I was, I was doing really well - chip leader and settled into my rhythm. Now on a new table, I am sure they are lovely people, despite the fact I am the only one talking, but I am all out of my stride and suddenly not doing so well. 

If I chose to change table, I would have no problem, but I didn't, I was moved and have subsequently my game has been altered. 

Does anyone else have this problem?

    Just part and parcel of online poker.

    Can work in your favour just as much as it can work against you. Obviously tonight didn't go your way, but on another day you might get initially drawn on a table with good, solid opponents that don't give you anything, then get moved to another table full of 'easier' players. A table move can also give you the chance to carve out a new image for yourself.

    If a table has to break, then a table has to break. No way round it, and learning to adjust to your new table mates is a big part of poker.

    I crashed out, but it is 02.19 and I can be forgiven :)

    10th place out of 59. I am a happy Pudding. 

    Well done to all the players in the 23.15 Deep Stack, you were awesome tonight!

    Unlucky Mr Pudding.

    I'm afraid "table balancing", as hhyrfghkhvkutdrtrhgjfth said, is just part of Tournament Poker, it can't work unless tables are balanced.

    Think of a table move as a good thing - every time you move tables, it means that more players have exited, but you are still in.

    It's a part of poker in general - online or live. In fact, there's an argument for saying it's worse when it happens in a casino because you actually have to get off your derriere and move.

    In Response to Re: Grrrr: Get up and move, outrageous tee hee. I was able to knock out the chip leader on our table taking 30,000 with me. And it did help once I had settled. I was just having such a nice time on the other table, it caught me off guard, but I loved the tourny last night. Can I find out who won?

    In Response to Re: Grrrr: Although I am a girl, Pudd is just fine :) And I had the lobby open so I could see who was chip leader - which was me for a short time, and who had gone out, and of course who was left.
