Played the $24+2 28k guaruntee earlier on Full Tilt. About 1100 players started, down to 80 or so im sitting at about 30th.

I have a super tight image at my table, everyone is showing me respect so I am able to steal a lot. I go from 50k to about 35k after getting moved into the blinds almost 3 times in a row.

Blinds were 1600/3400/300 (around here, i forget exactly) I think at this point and I pick up 77 my first hand in 3rd position at another new table. UTG limps, I was going to raise but ended up limping. SB pushed all in I had him covered by 1k. I was fairly certain I had the best hand and everyone else folded.

I hate calling all in, but I did it anyway. He flipped up K10 and rivered a gutshot. I didn't recover and went out 50th.

I HATE my limp preflop, I should've raised or folded. If I had pushed preflop I probably would've taken the pot, but the limper UTG had me scared because I hadn't played a hand at this table and UTG limp usually indicates a strong hand late in a tourney.

I was at the point where I shouldve just pushed preflop I think, 77 when people are trying to protect their chips and move up in the money is good enough to push when Im getting shortstacked.

I hate going out when I make a mistake like that, it was a coinflip, but I probably could've just taken down the blinds if I had thought about the hand a little more. Id rather get drawn out on then go out with a mistake like that.

I blame full tilt for screwing me on this one....

jk it happens, just frustrating.

Getting moved into the blinds 3 times in a row absolutely sux. 50th place still pays though so at least you didn't lose money.

I don't understand why poker sites can't move players according to the rules. You should NEVER be moved from table to table into a different position relative to the blinds. It seems like a relatively simple thing to implement, even on a tournament of 1100 people.

Is that an "Official" rule or something that is desired. I am seriously asking as I don't know. I didn't think it was in Roberts rules of poker but I could be wrong. If it is in RRoP than the sites definitely need to do something about it IMO

Basically Roberts Rules states that to balance tables, the Big Blind from one table be moved to as close as possible to the Big Blind at the short table.

In most circles this has been revised to move a player based upon the open seat's position relative to the big blind, so that the person that is moved is in the same position as he was at the previous table. This means no one misses a blind, and no one is blinded more than once (twice) a round.
