Again, just because something has a 0 EV impact long term (Assuming it happens evenly) doesn't mean it's something that doesn't need to be fixed.
But "fixed" how? There is no way to make a table balancing algoritm, where no players will ever be affected in a negative way in a single game. Maybe we can talk about some sites having a better algoritm than others, so there is no "fix", which can make this issue go away.
Would you agree that if MTT's randomly sat you out this should be fixed? Does it matter if it's a push in EV and sometimes it'll favor you?
The difference is, that this would serve no purpose. Table balancing is nessesary for game fairness, so there is no way to avoid it.
It's online. It shouldn't happen at all regardless of importance. I also think it's bad for the game rec's are already concerned it's rigged do we really want them getting constantly double blinded?
But are they? I have not noticed, that this is common on any of the sites, where I play (
888, PS, ACR). So which site(s) exactly is it, that does this table balancing very poorly?
There are many structures in which a few blinds are significant. For example, ACR runs a lot of On Demand games. Or a PKO which a few blinds could keep you from covering a bounty
Yes I play those regularly, and I have never seen table balancing as having a significant impact on the game.
