Today i was playing a MTT on POKERSTARS and, at the middle stage of the tournament, i was moved to another table TWICE in 10 minutes.
I don't like it because the whole work you've done to read your opponents is immediatly down.
Do you know how the software decides who is moved (and when) ?
And how do you manage arriving at a new table (and often immediatly hitting a very good hand) ?

I think the software change the table to keep it in proportion according to the stack of the players.
If you do not have notes or other information like stats about the players of the new table, it is advisable to play the first hands carefully.
Thanks for your answers 👍.
I also think that the software moves the player in order to respect a kind of stacks equilibrium at each table.
But the fact is: each time you arrive at a new table, you must play your firsts hands carefully.
So it is a great advantage to stay a long time at the same table.
But well i suppose there is nothing else to do than hope not to visit too many tables during the tournament
If you move from bb to bb you would have to sit out 2 or 3 hands (and not pay the blinds) until you were in the cutoff. This keeps it fair to not allow a player to have to pay the blinds more than once per orbit, and also keeps players from jumping from the button on one table into the button on the next table.As long as I am not moved from big blind to big blind on the bubble low stacked, I'm cool.
I played a live tournament once where I was never moved. It was much easier as players came to my table one by one. My brother was watching and he told me I dont know if you realize it or not but you were betting all of the small chips so people didnt believe you had the hand because of it and called off. I ended up winning.
