I got moved tables in the little old £20 omaha hi lo 14.45 MTT.... i had 800 chips left.... it then immediately moved me again.... and for 2 hands i had 8875 chips!

This was a first for me, i was bang up for it.... but then they went back down again on the 3rd hand of that table..... never seen anything like that before on any poker site.....

    You called me yesterday in a S&G with absolutely tosh and outdrew me with your disgrace of a hand! So any posts from you on here complaining about other players should be completely disregarded. I do not bother about losing small stakes, but you can'r have it both ways 'Waddy the station master'

    I didn't realise there was more than ONE player on this site with a duck like name. The one yesterday was a different Waddy and i suppose every Mallard has his day! :)

    I'm not a Sky rep but I've had this glitch numerous times playing Sky MTTs. It's a quirk of the system.

    It wouldn't. It's a display error. Server side he still had 800 chips.

    Ive had no cards whilst it asking me my next action many times here, but never a different amount of chips... If you are saying you have seen it on numerous occasions, then i guess its not such a big thing as i thought... its certainly something new to me and something i have never seen in 20yrs online!

    It's the chip stack of whoever was sitting in the seat before you sat in it glich i think

    I have no idea of the problem, & it's the first time I've heard of it.

    I'm certainly not a techie, but I'd bet good money it's a latency issue, & that it's the chips of the seat's previous occupant you could see as Stokey noted. If you had tried to perform an action, it would only have allowed you to use the 800 you really had.


    PS - latency; the delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction for its transfer.
    "poor performance due to network latency"

    A good example of computer latency in poker is when a player excitedly goes on Twitter, the Forum or whatever & everywhere else & says that the deck has two cards in it which are the same. (Two x 8 of Spades for example). And they DO appear to see it.

    What they are actually seeing is the cards from their previous hand during their current hand & comparing it to the Board cards or other players cards in the current hand. This is quite a common thing.

    a very plausible reason ^, (appears i'm more a techie than a poker player :-P ) good shout. sometimes you see the chips still sat on the table well into the next hand, will be similar
