Table Distribution Revisited. Sky need to sort!

edited July 2011 in Community Suggestions
A month or so ago there was discussion upon how the tables are balanced in Sky tournaments.

During the debate, it became clear that when a player is moved from a table of 6 (to leave 5 for balancing purposes) it is the player who is about to be on the button that is moved.

At the time it was made clear that this was unacceptable - this is a massive disadvantage to that player - they have just paid both blinds, and deserve a go on the button - much better to move the big blind as happens in all live tournaments (until a table is broken entirely).

Is there any way this mistake can be rectified, or at least can we have notification that it will be addressed at the next update.

Poker is unfair enough with all the variance without cheating players out of their go on the button!

    Lol @ this bit. I'm not sure unfair is the right word.

    It's unfair when you lose, and perfectly fair when you win.

    Bumpety bump - this needs sorting, Sky. Moving the person who has earned the button is wrong all day and all night long.
