A Bizarre Seat Move

Eyeman

Playing the TSP last night, I was moved from my seat (as we all know happens from time to time). Only it just moved me along 2 seats ON THE SAME TABLE . This had 2 effects.
1. WTF
2. I got to pay the blinds twice running.

Thanks Sky.

Lol, I can't say i've ever seen that before either.

Sounds like a bug.

DOHHHHHHH

Loads of exits in a very short space of time.

I once got moved to another table, played one hand and was then moved back to my previous table in the same seat. It confused the other players as much as me.

This.

Almost certainly several Tables "broke" simultaneously. Not an ideal seat move, agreed, but it can just as easily happen in similar circumstances in B & M poker.

I am 100% confident that this couldn't happen in live play.
Ask a player to stand up and move 2 places to his left to pick up the blinds? I don't think so. There were no hands missed.
Especially as in live play they don't have a software bug that moves the player from the button rather than the high blind!!!! Sort that one out Sky - it's a shameful disgrace.

The cards on your table are dealt, You are UTG and fold....

As the action is on UTG+1, something happens elsewhere in the tournament and it's determined that at the end of the hand you are currently in, you will be moved.

The hand you are in continues, and there's action on the turn. 

Lots of K.O's elsewhere between the pre flop action and the turn, in the hand you're currently playing, and the table that you are "hypothetically" already 'sat' on, breaks up......

You are then re-drawn a seat randomly, which just wierdly happens to be a seat on the table you were initially sat on.

--------------------

If a hand takes a really long time, say on a site where you have time banks up to 5 minutes, hypothetically u could be moved to 5 different tables without even knowing.

Say 6 players use their full 5 minute time bank in one hand, it could take half an hour to play the hand, in which case you could be moved to another table, and another, and another, but because you cannot actually "move" until the current hand is over, you will assume that you've only been moved once.

Explained perfectly.

I understand how it can happen online. The software moves you to table X seat Y. By the time your hand finishes Table X has broken, so you are reassigned Table A seat B, eben though you were on table A to begin with. Meanwhile player from table X that has broken takes my original seat.

In a SPT event last year (Manchester) I was moved to a new table for 1 hand, and then one player from my new table (which broke after that hand) went straight to the seat i had vacated just 1 hand previously.

However, I maintain, that if you are playing live and the tournament director comes to you and says, "excuse me sir, I know it's your button next hand, but I will need to re-seat you after the current hand", and then goes on to say "Your new seat is the big blind two along from your current position." the tournament director would be nursing a broken nose.

There is a serious note here (the blinds weren't high, and I didn't care). Moving the player from the button is a glitch that could be sorted out very easily with a software update. Move a guy from the button in live play, and the director might get a black eye to go with his broken nose (unless the table breaks, of course).

DOHHHHHHH

Ah right sorry I seem to have totally mis-understood your point.

I have no idea how they decide which players to move, and where to move them to. 

Where art thou Tourny Director Donald !?

pod1

your right graham, he would have a hard time moving me 2 seats along on the same table!!

I enjoy your Posts more with every passing day, Sir, Post more please. (But Post less if more equates to drivel, as is often the case).

And in reply to "lambert", yes, "B & M" means "bricks & mortar", & is the generic term for Live Poker.

PS - Got your PM at long last - awesome idea! I sent it upstairs, but everyone is incredibly busy today, lots going off here right now, so I've not had a reply yet.

Very strange. I had a similar experience last night too in one of the deepstacks. Having sat at the same table for ages I was moved to  UTG on another, where I waited for a hand.

Then I was UTG at a 3rd table where the same thing happened, and I ended up back on my original table but not in the same seat. 3 of the players there had not moved. All this without seeing a hand.

out of interest how long after did you bust out???

Eyeman

I busted out a fair while after (I cashed). The blinds were fairly low still. Maybe my final sentence was ott, but I have made this point before.
