Franky Bones 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Ok, this seems to be a pretty common thing with Internet MTTs... you just pay both blinds and suddenly are moved to a new table... the new table you are at puts you UTG. This doesn't happen in live tourneys does it? It seems really unfair to those it happens to.Reason I bring it up is I was just playing in a 3 hour marathon and it happend to me. BB was 8000 and I had just survived them both before I was bumped to a new table. BB ate me right up.. when I should have had at least another 8 hands to see. My goal was to hold on for another few places finish higher into the money, instead my strategy at the end was raped.. Link to post Share on other sites

DCSports92GSR 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 If you actually read the tournament rules on Party's ( or any poker room's ) website, they state that as tables are broken down and players are moved, you assume any responsibility of the position at the new table you are moved to, unless you come inbetween the button and the small blind. Pretty standard. Link to post Share on other sites

jeffgen 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yeah, I've never heard of that happening in a live tourney... but online is totally different. I guess if they state it in the rules like DC says, there's not much you can do about it -- besides play somewhere else, or live.PS, don't let a few bad responses stop you from posting on this forum. It's just the nature of the beast. Link to post Share on other sites
yeffy 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Happens all the time in live tournaments. If they are just balancing tables (ie: moving one player) they will move the person utg and move them to the closest to utg position at the other table so there is no problem, at worst you end up in the same spot you were in and sometimes get a few extra hands before taking the blinds. But when breaking tables it's pure luck. They will just throw a bunch of open seat cards on the table and you pick one (or they high card and pass them out) either way it's luck of the draw.I played a $1000 MTT at foxwoods last year where I went from the button (having just payed the blinds) to UTG when my table broke, then when I was in the small blind at the new table there was a 3 way all-in which busted two players so they broke our table and....yup Blammo! right back into the blinds. No less than 5 hands later we went to dinner break and they announced we were all moving downstairs and there would be a full redraw......back from dinner and Whammo! UTG at my new table. So in the course of 10 minutes of tournament time I paid the blinds 4 times, I went from an above average stack to seriously shortstacked without getting involved in a single hand. Talk about bad beats. Link to post Share on other sites
