A friend of mine and I recently played a No Limit tournament and he thinks that he was ripped off. Here is what happened. It was pretty late (blinds were 600/1200 and everyone started with 4000) and a lot of people were getting knocked out. At his table he has just posted the big blind and eventually folded his hand. He was then asked to move to a second table where the only open seat was the small blind. So he then had to post a small blind and then on the next hand post a big blind with left him extremely short stacked. Nevertheless he had to go all-in on his big blind hand with junk and was knocked out. He was really mad saying that wasn't right that he had to post so many blinds in a row (especially since he was short stacked to begin with). Was this the tournaments fault for not seeing that they were moving him from a button position to small blind position or should he have said something? What is the common standpoint on this for tournaments when you are asked to move? Could he have simply waited for a couple hands and then sat down at the empty seat thus skipping the blinds? Thanks.
