This has only ever happened on Party Poker and it has now happened twice in last two weeks.
I am in the BRM tourney right now and we were hand for hand at the bubble for two hands. I passed through the blinds leaving me $990, $10 short of a bb. All of a sudden I moved tables and rather finding myself on the button or at least waiting for the button to pass....I am back in the bb and all in with J-6!!!! And i am looking at being bubble boy.
The hand plays out and shazzam..I have almost 6k in chips and have a shot at getting back in for the real dough. The first time it happened I was able to turn it into a $5.50 cash...this time not so lucky but still some ching ching for my br
Anyone else ever hear of such table moves by the software at the bubble like this?

Ok at the end of a tourney it can happen, but normally you are not two times in a row in the blinds or so. But at the last 2-3 tables you can be moved in this situations you need luck and a lot of chips

Yes, it already happened to me too, and it wasnt on Party, but in other rooms. I remember a room where it was common to happen another thing in which many players dont believe. Being almost dying in the blinds, there was a magic flop combining with mind hand that usually gave me either a flush or a full house and that would put me in the race again till the final table. I am talking about 8,000 players field and things like this happening when there was still 2,500 players.

I have been saved by moving tables in the past,while it was my turn to post bb, but at the same moment it has happened a couple of times to be moved in the bb and get kicked out, while i could have been in the money if i was in the same table. So sometimes it helps sometimes doesnt. And it happens to all poker rooms.

Hi guys!!
That kind of move in tables in hand-to-hand mode is very strange. Of course, i didn´t see it before except in Rush MTTs (because in Rush, tables changes every hand, you know). I don't understand why table change in hand to hand.

Maybe there was a glitch at that moment in the poker client software, you will never know for sure, but at least it worked for your advantage I think. Sometimes somebody needs that extra luck.
