I agree with Spiff, you should try and keep all three tables as balanced as possible. If I weren't using TD, I'd probably deal out high card for the person switching, and move him to a similar seat on the short table. |
I tried letting TD handle it, but yeah, it has no idea where the blinds are, so I think it just moves players at random. It does serve as a nice reminder when you need to move players or break a table down though. Actually, I'd be curious to know how it decides who to move. In theory, if seat 5 busts out, you just move the seat 5 from the other table I guess, but in practice, the buttons probably get out of sync pretty quick.
Honestly, with two tables and probably even three, I think it would be easy enough to just manage manually. I can see when you get up to 4, 5+ tables having something like TD handle it all is pretty nice. Anyone know how they manage all the moving a table breakdowns at something like the WSOP? With over 200 tables, I would think you could possibly breakdown a table about every few hands if you wanted. That seems like a lot of moving.
