Table Balancing on Boss

[slapdash]

I have a cunning theory! :loon I seem to remember somebody a while ago claiming that the big stacks seem to end up on the same table in the later stages of Boss MTTs more often than you'd expect by chance. I'm not one for "online poker is fixed" conspiracy theories, but I kind of had the feeling that it did often seem to be true. Playing in the Paradise league tonight, about half way through, the biggest stack at my table got moved to another table, and I got to thinking. When a table needs another player, there will tend to be a big stack there, because somebody at that table has just taken all of somebody else's chips, and the players who knock other players out tend to be big stacks anyway. So if the biggest stack from another table is moved there, then the big stacks would tend to congregate. I started to pay attention to who got moved from my table. It happened twice more, and both times it was the largest stack at the table! Now, I know this is probably just a meaningless coincidence, but I wonder if people could keep an eye out to see if this is what always/usually happens?

Re: Table Balancing on Boss I think we were down to 2 tables tonight when I commented that all the short stacks were on our table. I think at that point I had 2000-odd chips and was the big stack on the table. Not too long after that all the big guns arrived (or did I move) and Mike was saying top 6 were on the table. How is it supposed to be decided who to move - is it randomly generated or should there be a rule? Isn't it based on position in a live game? :unsure
