Anybody else had enough of registering late for say a satellite then having to wait sometimes 20 min' plus to be seated then being at a big dissadvantage because blind levels have risin so much that your bassically committed any hand you want to play but when you regged you should of sat down with 20+ big blinds.

Something needs to be done whats stopping 1 player bein removed from each open table and starting a new one with the late reggers atm it's like joining the cue to sit at a cash table.

    I dont think the software populates another table until there are 6 players entered for the late reg. If 6 new players don't reg then it has to wait for a player to get knocked out before it can re-balance the tables.

    Personally I have never had to wait too long, but it is best to take this into account before registering - or register earlier.

    For instance if you look at the lobby & stack sizes before you register, and lets say there are 24 seated, then it may take a while before you get a set. If the lobby has tables with ODD numbers, then it is more likely that you will be seated quicker in my experience.

    there is absolutely NO reason to wait for 6 players to start a new table.

    5 tables of 6 in play. someone late regs create a new table, take one player from 4 or 5 of the tables and add them to the new table.

    now if anyone else late regs there are spaces at some tables for them to slot straight in on. 


    Bearing in mind that online ISN'T LIVE so there is absolutely no delay in moving stacks/chips/people/chairs etc etc late reg should be instant.

    I totally agree beaneh
    I'm just saying the software as it stands, cant rebalance the tables until someone is knocked out. It probably won't be sorted until they have developed the new download and it is available for use. But hopefully it will be implemented at some point.

    It's pretty obvious that the current software is unable to do this or it would happen.
