So - Gala Teesside has decided to make the second 50p/£1 cash table they open each night a 'feeder' table.
Once there are 5 or more on the waiting list they open the second table and then as players leave the first table the next name on the list is compelled to move.
Actually you can choose not to, but you can't choose to just stay where you are. If you refuse your place on the 'main' table you can't go back on either list for at least two hours.

Views on this?

and also views on what should happen with your accumulated stack on the 'feeder'? I understand that recently a guy who had built a stack of c£500 and when moved he put all but £150 in his pocket...
The ruling seems to be that he can sit at the 'main' table as if he was fresh to it and with a minimum buyin (£30 lol)

standard apart from being able to refuse a seat on the main game, normally you have to move, that's the point of a feeder, the clue's in the name

and the removal of chips between tables?

Seems fine to me. It's a different game.

pretty sure that's not out of the ordinary.........

I sat at one of those feeder tables the other night.  Bloke next to me was telling me he had a brand new car - looks like a jaguar.  Got leather seats and a CD player. 

Just another day then?

LOL

I hate the fact that people can weed off inbetween moving tables but suppose its fair....sort of. Not happy if I stack off to donko in a '1 pair cooler', he moves with all my money, i follow 15mins later and hes grinding 10 bbs.

Not allowed at Luton G. You have to play with what you won on the feeder table.

At Luton G me, Rooks, Middy and Knave sit at feeder table and within an hour the table has like £9k on it.

I'm stuck £500 and I get made to move to the main game which is smaller than the feeder game and no one has more than £300.

Wheeeeeeeeee, means you tilt off the rest imo rotflmfao

So why can't there just be two tables? Waiting lists for each/either/any?

Its called a "must move" game.  Why can't uk cardrooms use the correct terminology?

To OP the reason for a must move game is to give the waiting list players a game as soon as possible, while ensuring that the original game doesn't break up.

to ensure that the table that's been open the longest doesn't break. in general the main game will have the most money on so noone wants that breaking

lol, what difference does it make? Americans don't call tournaments comps (or competitions), does it make it any less a correct term?

No, but when there is a term "must move" that perfectly adequately describes a situation, what is the point in inventing a new term that isn't as good at describing the situation? 

Yesterday went too soon!!

I have never heard of the term 'must move', i've only ever heard of feeder tables.  I also think 'feeder' adequetly describes the situation.  Just saying..

At Luton they say there is a seat on the feeder table, but it is a must move table. Covers it all imo.

'must move table' is a horribly clunky name. glad we don't use it.

That is just because you are ignorant

just saying....


ps google "feeder table" and "must move table"

You're very passionate about this and have taken this way to personal.   From now on I will be using the term 'must move table' instead of 'feeder table' and see if anybody else I know has heard of it.




P.S googled both, got some obscure US poker websites for must move , and bird feeding tables websites  Does this prove your point?

A "Must Move" Table is an extension of the main game, therefore ALL chips must be transferred from the feeder table (even if this is less than the original sit down).

If the tables aren't must move, then they are separate games in their own right and you can weed back to the minimum sit down, on the other hand if you have less than the minimum sit down you must make it up.

So in this instance it would be incorrect to call it a 'must move' table?

I wish people would use the correct terminology :P

ffs never heard of or seen either

Was he drinking Cider from a Lemon?

That would be most strange indeed.  Is this one of those weird misheard lyrics things, like when Jimi Hendrix said 'excuse my while I kiss this guy'?  I thought the dude drank 'cider from eleven'.  Someone needs to get to the bottom of this.

oh its going like that is it ? in that case i nominate

"theres lemons on sale again"

bowie - life on mars

we need a new thread

+1. People get so pernickity about semantics!

Like.. fishing trip/armed standoff, what's the difference really?  :dontask:

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

must- move as double up says would solve this issue and op its standard across the country, think yourself lucky you can refuse a seat in the main game.
