Posting big blind twice

#1 14th June 2009, 6:10 PM

I don't know if anyone else has come across this problem much, but it happens to me every now and then...

In the CardsChat Party Poker freeroll today I had just posted the big blind on one table and then I got switched to another table and the next hand I posted the big blind again - obviously followed by the small blind.

This really ate into my chipstack. It had been around 3,000, but after posting 2 x 400 big blinds and 1 x 200 small blind I was down another 1,000.

Surely the software should prevent this happening so that when you switch tables you only pick up the blinds where you left off on the previous table?

I hate when that happens. One time I paid the big blind 3 times in a row on 3 different tables, followed by the small blind at the last table. And I do mean the LAST table, as the blinds were huge and it knocked me out!

I thought after switch table you have to wait until after the button before you can play?

The software could have prevented this if programmed as such. But even if it does allow this it's still fair from the overall game perspective since everyone in the game has an equal chance of it happening to them. Now if you had just had the button and then moved to another table and were actually dealt in and allowed to play the button a second time consecutively, then there wouldn't be a thread about it.

It is all about timing when they move u, sometimes dealer moves u and you are supppose to be after the button but for some reason u are the big blind again, just think it is all about timing and bad luck.

Next time just shove when you get the BB with ATC. When you get looked up and win with 83 off you can just tell them that you had "move tilt".

This situation is written into most of the different sites rules, I say most of because I hven't read all of the different sites rules, by signing up to the sites you accept their rules.
As JD said everyone is in the same boat.

I believe I once read about Full Tilt that the software will try, when moving you, to put you close to where you were. But obviously that is not always possible and this does happen. The other night my friend was playing a freeroll and got switched to three tables and was big blind three times in a row causing him to pretty much blind out near the bubble. But, I have also had it happen where I was just about to get hit by some big blinds that would have hurt and they switched me to a table where the next hand I was button instead. Just another aspect of the game where you may get lucky or not.

Yeah I agree that definitely stinks but I don't think there is much you can do about it in terms of a programming stand point. Live tournaments they can at least move you to a table and put you in a seat where you would be closer and guarantee that you won't get shafted as such, or at least not as badly. Kinda like the cards, sometimes it's better to be lucky then good...
