first of all i dont play online very often cause i just dont trust it, i transferred 500 from my online book to their poker room--so dont respnod by saying you must be losing to say online poker is rigged---of course the winners arent going to complain but thats another story and i have my own opinions on that as well---but this thread is about something that happened the other night in a tournament and i caught it and i asked the customer service about it and they pretty much blew it no big deal---i said it doesnt happen in live games that i play regularly and they said well online poker is different and left it at that

200-400 level and i posted bb, hand was over and i was moved to another table where i had to post another 400 big blind, 2 hands in a row i was the big blind, this is my problem it shouldnt happen, is it common online....

as for the play, i was eliminated from a tournament after building a rather sizable stack, i was eliminated by quads in back to back hands---thats right quads in btb hands, i can play in local tournaments for a month and not see quads twice, much less in btb hands


as for the ring games, absolutely they give everyone good hands to build pots and get more rake

This was a huge problem at Party Poker back in the day, i once posted the blinds on 6 straight hands when we were down to like 13 people , pushing me right out the tourny....and they cared less, they said the movements were random which is stupid....
FT and Stars dont use a random draw likw that and i dont think Bodog does either...so i have a feeling u were playing at Bookmaker on that 5 yr old software from True Poker....which prolly does still use the random method...not much u can do , its in the rules that its random....and just like the rest of it i have a hard time beleiving it cant be controled...

Just in case anybody wants to know...At Stars they use position to move a player...closet to the blind or whatever...BUT when there is no ready player available they will move a player who is sitting out in any position as the 2nd option....so if ur in a tourny and dont like ur table just sit out between hands and it just might get you moved to another table.....
