PokerStars>> Sitting out = change tables

[zardnok]

Has anyone else noticed that Pokerstars tends to move the players that are sitting out when they are equalizing the number of players at each table during a tourney? I have used this many times to get away from a table with a player that is overly aggressive in stealing pots or to get away from a table that I have showndown a bluff or two gone bad.

The key is to click sit-out and then click back if you see a hand you wish to play, otherwise just let the tourney auto-fold. As soon as another table has two fewer players than your current table, it will auto-move you to the new table and you can continue playing regularly.

Are you sure that's how it works? I always thought that they just tryed to even the chips on each table or something. I don't know.

They try and move people to the same position at a new table, not equalize chip stacks.

Am I sure it works? Well I have used it on multiple occasions to change tables, as have friends of mine. I would venture to say it works more often than not. Try it for yourself if you find yourself at a table that you no longer like.

Granted, if your table is the one that has the fewest players, it will do nothing as folks will be moved to your table, but start to pay attention to folks sitting out and watch them get moved away. That was basically how I figured it out, then I was playing a MTT with some buddies and we were lamenting all being at seperate tables, a few sit-outs later and we were all seated together.
