    So we are 2 tabling for the $44 5k on UB and we are getting big blinds coming around, and the guy in the BB ends up busting and taking us to 17 left. I was just in 2nd position and the guy who was just in first position (with a 5x bb short stack) who should be placed as a single BB gets shipped straight to the SB and I am placed in the BB. The short stack completely missing his BB??

    I've of course heard of the Hellmuth hand, but are other people experiencing things like this or other glitches on UB??

    It isn't a glitch and UB isn't the only site that does this.

    Pre-Cereus,

    AP used a forward-moving button (like pokerstars), and UB did not (like FTP).

    Since they moved to the same network, they had to pick one or the other. The forward-moving button won out, probably because more players are familiar with that version of the rule.
