Hi guys, I'm a floorperson here n the Philippines where the sport is still starting to bloom. I understand that TDA is clear on the question of "who will be transferred?" during table-balancing procedure, that is, "the player who will be big blind next will be moved to the worst position". Please correct me if I'm wrong here: In the past I have players who don't want to be moved and defended themselves by saying, "I have already posted my BB" while the dealer is still scrambling the cards. So what happens is, if a player doesn't want to be moved, he'll just quickly post his BB before the TD could even approach him. To solve that problem, I stressed to them that if the hand has not started yet, you can be moved even if you have already posted your BB, and "A hand begins... (as TDA also has stated) ...with the first riffle". So it has been my practice to move a player "who will be big blind next", that is, as I understand it, who will be big blind next hand. So as long as that next hand has not started yet, that player will be moved even if he has already posted his BB. My next problem or question surfaced when a TD from another poker room confronted me that if I move a player before the start of a hand, then I should not move a player during a hand or while the hand is still ongoing. I must wait until the hand is over. The reason for that, he said, I have no way of knowing if a player will be busted out on that table thus making it shorter than the table I moved the player into. I must wait then until the hand is over before I could appropriately or fairly balance tables, and also as he claimed, moving players is very critical especially if there are only two tables left. He has his reasons, so I tried to apply his ideas but when I move players in between hands, it caused delays in table-balancing resulting in missing the appropriate or fair available seats (near the BB position or about to take the BB position) and sometimes putting players right after the button which in turn enraged others for if that player was moved immediately, he could have been the BB on that new table and not after the button. So when is the correct timing of moving a player during table-balancing? Please help me with these issues. Thanks
