That is a pretty bad algorithm.. Generally, when they move players to sync the tables, they move people to roughly the same spot they came from.. You should never really be moved from the button, having just gone through the blinds, to go into big blind straight away again..
That is really poor - I hate 888 software, it used to be incredibly crummy, I've heard it is better now - but that is still horrible. Very unlucky for you.

i think for many sites, they move the player randomly so u can end up anywhere had the same experience few times on merge network and some guy on other forum has claimed even this shifting is rigged
Yes, in my experience, I generally end up in a very similar spot. I never get put in front of the blinds again either, if I've just had them.
Also - when I used to play more live tourneys - it was the same thing - when they were evening out the tables - they would come by and ask something like "who is next in big blind?" etc to find out who to move to try and make it fair for this same reason.

You won $20 without deposit that's not bad luck, we couldn't win prize at all MTT we play. At that game you told ,yes very bad luck. but over all isn't bad luck. No chance to bluff ?

If you play poker long enough you will come up with a situation like this. I got favoured many times by moving while it was my turn to post blinds, and that helped me a lot especially late on a game were blinds are high.
And yes i have posted too 2 bb in a row rare but it happens

Hi guys!!
No one remember the Rush SnG or MTTs, when you could be seated at SB three four or more times in a row? Is a frustrating situation in any MTT and site, issi1976.

Changing tables and being on the blinds two times in a row can ruin anyone’s game. I only remember of being short stacked in some MTT’s and when changing tables the room would give me a little bit more air to breed, not bad but never enough when the stack earned till there doesn’t helps us.

In the high Blind levels and after reaching the money zone, some player playing verry loose suddenly. But all situations are different. Only when a player attacks verry loose your blinds x-times, it is a good idea to reraise with midpairs or lower hole cards...

This happens at Carbon every so often. Problem is, always happens when your in a situation just like you was in so sometimes you tilt, call on bad cards and lose more then what you ever thought you should. At least you came out okay.
