Wait, what is the advantage to them of moving you after you win a big pot in an MTT again?
1. I don't think that Stars is rigging anything. There are players in the SNE pursuit forum that think the tournament tables don't break often enough. That doesn't mean that they think that poker is rigged.
All I'm saying is that I've seen so many instances of a player winning a huge pot, then immediately being moved, that it can't be random. I could be wrong (I know that people can see patterns where none exist) but I don't think so.
If I had to guess why it's happening, I would say it's some kind of glitch in the code that moves large stacks and/or winners of large pots more often than they should be moved if it was random.
2. It's not whether I move that I'm concerned about. In fact, it would probably be an advantage to take my big stack to a new table where they don't know I play. I know I'm cautious against an unknown player with enough chips to put me all-in any time he feels like it.
If someone who I've tracked at 92/76 for 36 hands (yes, those are the real numbers) wins a huge pot, he becomes the whale at my table. I don't want my whales to leave the table more often than would be expected. That's the issue--I want to save the whales.
