Hey ACR perhaps you should look at your table creation and breaking algorithm. I'm constantly playing one or two hands and then moving to another table... sometimes no hands at the new table before I'm moved. Something in your algorithm is screwed up, because this would never happen IRL. Generally poker rooms break highest (numerically) tables first, and work their way down. Opening a new table usually requires 5-6 players moved from existing tables. The way you guys seem to do it, if a few people get busted from one table, you break it. If one player starts crushing chips, you move him or break the table. This is wrong... and it actually affects the game in unintended ways. Mostly by creating table with little chip variance... Bunch of big guys at same table, or bunch of little guys at same table. Not always, but too often for it to be truly random. To be clear chip stack should NEVER impact movement in any way, whether to move or not, what table to move to, etc.
Certainly during the registration rush you can start new tables with recently registered players fast enough to not necessitate moving players, and if there is a delay, so what, the players registered late in the first place, no advantage or disadvantage to them waiting 30 seconds for the table to fill with also new players. But as those tables are the most recently made, they would also be higher numerically, and thus quickest in the breaking order.
It's not that I have a huge problem with moving, or playing random opponents without any point of reference, as I generally play many low limit tables at once. It does concern me should I want to play a significant buy in tournament.
Just FYI the standard for most rooms is;
if moving one player, ALWAYS move the next BB (that way no matter what they do not lose potential positional advantage)
if breaking table, break last table to open first (though there would be probably be a modification of last 5 tables so you arent constantly breaking new tables during late reg).
Sorry so long, congrats if you read the whole thing
