hi every one
can anyone tell me when you are moved from one table to another what the reason is.
has in the primo on sunday i was 36th out of 36 ,
we all had smallish stacks and i had just been big blind.
i was then moved to another  table were most players had big stacks and i was one deal away from the blinds again which i think was very unfair, i than looked at the table i was at and there was six players with smallist stacks, so why was i moved. 30 got paid so it cost me.moving

    Sky has a programming error, sadly interms of moving players. This doesn't account for what happened to you (I suepect you weren't 36/36 at the time you were moved), but the player on the button is always the player to be moved when one player is shifted on Sky. Thus, you pay the 2 blinds, and get shafted by a programming error - disgraceful. In real life the player about to pay the big blind is moved - much fairer. Been flagged up for a while. Sky (as far as I know) has done nothing about it.

    I've often wondered why the following scenario happens. I will be on a table for most of a tourney with players that have more or less the same amount of chips as myself give or take the odd thousand either way when suddenly someone will disappear and will be Instantly replaced with a player with at least double the stack of anyone on the table.

    it is wierd how one person gets moved and then the next hand someone is sat in their seat. i have fallen into that trap of having both my blinds then getting moved into my blands again.  so u ships wot ever level it is and then ship again.
    now having only recently played live, i have seen it is the bb that gets moved and not the button..

    I also believe it is the person that is the BB 'next' that moves in live play?

    Whichever it is, it is CERTAINLY not the 'button' that gets moved.

    I'm no computer expert, but I reckon 10 minutes tops would sort this out. Come on Sky.

    Live, the next bb gets moved - then players gets moved to a seat where the bb is due - you can't miss the blinds



     depends if tables need to be balanced or table breaks up

    SKY whats up ?

    Live it is the BB blind that is moved. They get moved to the least advantageous seat on the new table (this will only be the BB, if the BB seat is free - so you CAN miss the blinds).

    On stars, i think early poss players get moved i.e UTG, you then get moved to a random seat at another table. . . its just a bonus if you get posted in late poss, nothing changes if posted in early possition, sky should adopt this i reckon.

    live, you can miss your blinds. they have already chosen which seat u r in before u get moved. they just tell the next big blind to go..  they dont care who this person is or if they r going to lands blinds..

    My absolute record occurred once. I got moved from the button (having doled out 2 lots of blinds) to another table. On that table I watched the end of a hand, but before the next hand was dealt, I was moved again - would you believe it - back to the table I'd come from, only 2 seats to the right - just in time for the blinds to hit me again. Dischuffed.

    i understand the moans etc but isn't it just a case of swings and roundabouts?

    i know for certain i have had runs where i have gone from being the next bb then moving to a new table where i get the button and then before the next set of blinds moving to a new table to be the button again.

    variance?

    Where I play live they wait at the table for the end of the hand. Ask the person who would be the BB to stand up (BB is then paid by player who would be UTG) and you are taken to another table and sat down where there is a free spot as close to the BB possition as possible. You can't join the action from the small blind at the new table though. Very suprised to here that Sky do not opperate the same policy as every other card room.

    Sadly not so. It ISN'T random. Just watch. Every time someone moves from a 6 seated table (not a table breaking completely), it's ALWAYS WITHOUT EXCEPTION the button that moves. A simple programming errror. IT IS NOT RANDOM!

    If you don't believe this, then write it down, and watch. I have no reason to lie about this.

    Yer should really be same as live move the next BB, overall it is just variance but still should replicate live a bit more

    It's not variance. Other than happening to be the one on the button when someone moves. It's basically wrong, has been flagged up more than once, yet Sky have ignored it - I'm honestly surprised.

    I was once moved from a table to a new one , played 1 hand and was then moved back to the same seat on the last table. I said I'd been to the loo.

    in one tourny when the blinds were high i was sitting comfortable mid stack with 18 left, had my blinds got moved into another set blinds straight away, got moved had my blinds again straight away and i was then the shorty..

    i think have 3 lots of blinds in so few a number of hands is fair or variance..  basically i have 3 sets of blinds when others were having 1 . all in one orbit..  i did find it wierd at the time that u can go from having ur blinds stole to being moved into having ur blinds stole at another table..

    but thats online...

    ahh well..


    cant wait for the spt to come round in june and the guktp at bolton ohh wot a busy poker month, online will be getting a miss that month

    Yea obv this bit is wrong.

    2 (or more) wrongs don't make a right.

    There's enough varience to deal with in poker as it is without the correct rules of the game being ignored.
