MTT Table Balancing

[legendkiller]

I was thinking about this during last nights freeroll. What was happening last night was that as the tables were being balanced the person who had just been on the button was the one who got moved to a new table. Am I the only one who thinks that this is a bit rough as you have just been through the blinds and you get moved to new table - sometimes with the blinds almost upon you again. You are already being slightly disadvantged as you need to suss out the people at the new table, now you have to pay another set of blinds. Would it not be better to moe the player to the left of the BB instead? Is this the recognised way of doing it, or do different sites employ different rules?

Re: MTT Table Balancing I don't know if you mean the PL freeroll or the one on 365 - but most sites, including prima/party, say that they'll always try to move you further away from your blinds than you were on the previous table, to compensate for being unfamiliar with the players. It actually specifies that in 365's terms, I remember reading it recently. They seem to manage it 90% of the time, but I guess it's not always possible. The only site I've played on that doesn't seem to have this policy at all is Pacific, where I've posted 3 BB's in a row before - but that's in keeping with their general trend of blowing.
