I think just like in Live MTT it is completly random and just happens sometimes.
I dont understand it but have seen it happen online and live before.

I agree with you guys, it is random. If you are able to build any type of respect with maybe a couple of those bigger stacks, this could be huge. I like achieving this cause then I'm able to steal blinds from them and get some chips. Obviously you can't always manage to get this at a table especially when being moved to that situation, but its almost a death sentence unless the poker gods are liking you at the time and you are able to double or triple. But always is never fun when this happens.

Do they shuffle all the tables? I think Bovada's software has some table balancing issues any way. I was in a tourney the other night with nearly 300 entries and got it down to the final 3 tables. When there were about 22 players left, one table had the full ring of 9 players, another had 7 and another had 6. It is very unfair to the table with 6 players because they are paying the blinds more rapidly. It took a good 5-6 minutes before they rebalanced the table. I know in other sites, like Carbon or pokerstars (back when I played on it before the terrible shutdown), the sites would rebalance a lot quicker, especially when you would get down to the final few tables.
