In Response to Re: Table redistibutions. : "many times", yes, but by design (or by design fault), no. Did you not see the Semi-Final of the SPT at Leeds last week, which was a LIVE Tourney? All the big stacks were on 1 table, & that is often the case. "Many times" in fact. There is nothing sinister about it, nothing at all. Why would there be? I mean, really, why would there be? Why is it in anyone's interest to mess with random distribution? The motive is what, exactly? People complain about this (why? - I WANT the big stacks on my table ffs!), so presumably, they prefer to be on the Table full of shorties. I've yet to see someone complain about that being on a table full of shorties, though....... Posted by Tikay10

My contribution to this post was not a complaint, merely an observation.
My query would be why would the average stack be shown if the table average is not comparable to it????
In Response to Re: Table redistibutions. : Graham, a few random examples proves nothing, & you know it. Your sample size needs to be 6 or 7 figures, 100,000+ examples, not a handful. You seem to be fixated about this - don't be, it makes no sense, think motive. Posted by Tikay10
To be fair this would be true when talking about 'hands' and 'cards dealt' but with tourney play 'moves' the figure could be immensely less, as the number of 'moves' late on in a tourney, are insignificant to the amount of 'hands dealt' If a players takes a sample size of say 7 days tournament games which involve 50+ players, and this sort of thing happens say 80% of the time, then its fair to assume it is more likely to occur in the long run as well. One more point, whenever there is an argument, someone always says that the sample size should be in the hundreds of thousands to be meaningful, but how can anybody do this? its like me saying i bet you a million quid im right, who's gonna bet knowing me and you wont pay the million if we lost lol. I personally don't care when im moved, it evens itself out in the long run for all of us, unlucky today, lucky tomorrow, that's my philosophy!
However, where you are moved FROM will bother you. I'd be very surprised if this basic programming error wasn't sorted as a result of this thread. No-one can defend moving the player from the button.
