|
|
How do you guys select which player to move when the tables need to be balanced?
I don't want to use the random feature because I don't to hit someone with the big blind twice in a row.
So who do you move? Next to get the big blind? I think I have heard one off the button. Does that mean the cutoff seat?
Thanks!! |

most standard tourney move the person in front of the button. however, I found manual moves to be a pain in the a ss as the tourney got a little bigger. it was too distracting for me to figure out each time while playing. so i make an announcement at the beginning of the tourney that all moves are random, and if you don't like it, suck it up or find another game. It rarely penalizes anyone excessively. we have some bitchers and moaners, but i just ridicule them in front of their friends and they pipe down. |

Another option is to move the person expecting the Big Blind. At worst, they will arrive at the new table in the big blind. At best, the will gain position. Works for everyone. |

oops!. that's what i meant. it's standard to move the person in front of the BB, not the button. |

I agree that moving the BB is a safe play, therefore no one is penalized, if anything the person moved is rewarded. I typically try to move seat for seat counting from the button forward. Reason being no one position changes. i.e. If tables are uneven in number, if you count 4 seats forward he is BB in 2 hands therefore he will be moved to play 2 hands before he is the BB. I have done both and either works well with less than 25 people depending on your crowds preference. They tend to lose their equality with 30 plus. Someone always has something to complain about(every game has a couple) "He hasn't posted a BB in an hour","Don't take money off the table"and 100 other clich'eic quotes. For me seat for seat is the only way to run large tourney and be consistant across the board. Hope this helps
Thanks

If there's a hand on the othe table in play, the next BB has to move to the table with less players nearest position to the BB in further hands.
For example, table A has 10 players, button on position 1, SB 2 and BB 3. table A has a hand in play, so the player on seat 4 will be moved after he's getting inactive during the hand in play.
Table B has 8 players, button is on position 1, SB 2 and BB 3. Open seats are positions 5 and 9. The moved player has to take his seat on position 5, the nearest position to the next BB.
Additional example: Should the player at position 4 on table B be busted, the moved player would take that seat as a single BB (no SB). |
