Maybe he figured you'd be more likely to play the 50 than the 300?

[Claw75]

what happened the chips he'd won whilst accidentally playing the £300?

[kinboshi]

Can't fault him.  He'd spotted the value and went straight for it...

Funtime Frankie

Something similar happened to me.  I arrived for the £300 a little late, and found my name on the screens showing the seat draw. Went to the table, and someone was already sitting in my seat and they'd played a few hands already (I was about 3 minutes late).  So went to the TD who checked and say it was another Phillips (Rod?) who'd sat in my seat by mistake.  Now that he'd played some hands it was too late to do anything about it, so instead the common-sense solution was to put me in the seat he should have been sat in.  Looked like a much tougher table than the one I was meant to be sat at - but too late to do anything about that now, and it was my own fault I was late.

It did make me think though, that someone could see their table draw and decide the table is a tough one, and go and find themselves an 'easier' table instead with a seat that's not yet occupied.  If they time it for just as the comp starts they'll have played a hand and it'll be too late to do anything about it by the time someone notices.

I guess a simple solution is for the dealers to have a printed list of the players for their starting table and check before the tournament kicks off, or as each player arrives after the start.

Same happened to me at the APAT worlds last year.  guy turned up late to find another guy sat in his seat at our table.  As we'd already played a few hands he was sent to the seat the guy at our table should have been in.  Wouldn't have minded too much except the bloke that was sat at our table that shouldn't have been there was Chris Brammer

the dealers always used to have a printout of the seat draw when DTD first opened didn't they?

[redsimon]

Happened to me at APAT HORSE at DtD in August. Mr "Tall Anon" was sat in my seat and had bluffed away a good % of the starting stack. Luckily I got to sit in his "real" seat which had lost one big blind

yep, and they would ask you your name as you sat down

[RED-DOG]

If 3 consecutive wrong people sit down and you don't stop them, your hand is dead.

(is that a standard rule, or just at DTD and Cf's homegame?)
