 i need to know why you are moved from one to another table while there is 6 players
 at the table
 after being at one table in the double stack for two hours, i was moved to scott77 table
 after about ten minutes while there was still six players at the table i lost a big hand,
 and was moved to the chip leaders table where i went out first hand.
 this seams to happen to me a lot ,
 has anyone got any ideas where.
                                                    thanks

    Don't start YG ;)

    Ebbs, there are a few reasons why you are moved.  One would be that one table drops to 4 players while many of the others all have 6, therefore one of the full tables have to be picked to move one player across to the short one.  Another possibility is the original table breaks when 6 tables hit 5 players (or other denominations).

    Some MTTs you get moved a lot, some you never move at all.  I would suggest that you feel this happens a lot to you because you notice the times you are moved a lot as it is natural to regard the non moving times as 'normal.'  We take notice of the things outside our perception of normality.  Also it'll happen more to you as you last longer in more MTTs than other people, so just probability makes it likely you will get more table moves than the average.

    Hope this helps.

    Moving tables is all part of the tourney experiance , sometimes its a good move for you sometimes not but i can assure you they are not just moving you to make it harder for you .
    The fact that there is 6 players on your table makes no odds, you are moving to balance up tables that have less.

    i recently saw one player moved for one hand from his table, then put back in his same seat on the table he came from. he had trebbled up in that hand and went back with a massive stack compared to others..

    table moves do happen, it amazes me how u can get someone moved off ur table and 10 seconds later someone is in their seat.. even before a hand is finished playing..

    we all know table moves are going to happen and hope it is not an unlucky move..  we always hope for the hot seat..

    run good, enjoy and wots that other word  WIN WIN WIN

    To be honest Sporny, I don't see why this needs to looked into (as Scouse said), it's completely random and would be unfair to reshuffle the tables in any other way. Yeah it sucks being moved onto the BB 3 times in a row but there will be a time when you get moved to the button 3 times in a row, and who could complain about that. It's just variance.

    I spoke with Adam in Glasgow about this, and it's an issue they are going to address in one of the updates coming soon.
    Basically, on Sky, if a player needs to move from a table (not a table broken up), due to a bit of programming nonsense, the player is always moved FROM THE BUTTON. So, Ebberdon, you will have just been in the wrong seat at the wrong time twice.
    In fairness, this can happen live - but they always move the big blind - this can still - by chace - happen to the same player frequently (but 9/10 seated it is more unlikely than 6 seated).

    Ok I didn't realise that, but my point is that if you play long enough, it will happen to you 3 times in a row as it will do everyone else, things like this (luck) will always even themselves out.

      the table i moved from was not broken up and i was replace by another player so what was the reason.
      why not move the other player to that table or was he already there and we was swopted tables
      but for what reason.

    Perhaps as you were moved to balance a table someone else was knocked out (maybe 5 seconds after ) which left the right number to have 6 on every table ,so another table was broken up and one player  put on your old table.
    Things can happen quickly with 200+ entries.
     Not quite sure what you think is going on but every one has to  move sometimes.
