This would make sense if it happened once, but OP is describing table-hopping which is multiple table switches in a row without letting you play any hands. Is that still normal to you?
Totally normal, this happens even live. I already lost a few times during live table transfer. In my perception this is because you are winning at your table and exerting pressure, and you are used to the tendencies of the players at your table. When you change tables, you lose all information and continue with the impression of dominating the table, when in fact you are blind to the standards of the new table. one piece of advice is to slow down when changing tables and pay attention to new players.
this happens rarely, and in hyperturbo tournaments usually. when many players fall consecutively. so the relocation is faster. sometimes it happens to be in a constant exchange.
Good point. When I'm moved to another table, I had to wait for the other players to play one or two hands before I join. I mean why not let me sit out or just one hand instead of two? I feel its not fair.
it depends , on your position at the table before the table transfer , when you start on the button you have one hand left unplayed .
Have you ever sat out for more than one hand after being transferred to another table? I watched them play one or two hands before I'm able to join the fun. It was a super turbo tourney so I kinda lost momentum and position fast.
yes it has happened to me. I once got through just getting carried over until I ran out of chips, but that's rare and happens more in hyper turbo tournaments where everyone is shorty stacked, and dropping out of the tournament simultaneously. the tables become outdated quickly and relocation is more frequent.
It is not totally clear from OP's post if that truly happened eight times in a row or eight times during the tournament? If it indeed happened in a row then it might be a bit odd. Otherwise, getting forced to change tables 5-6 times during a tournament is normal to me.
Welcome to the forum & good luck at the tables. Hope you enjoy your time with us.
That should not be possible, as you do not pay blinds or ante when you “sit out”.
That is true. But it is possible to be bounced around in a way, where you end up paying the blinds more often than other players. Or the opposite.
This got nothing to do with you winning a hand.
actuall not in a row but in a short period of time.
Thanks for the advice
