    ?? U think im not trying to play them? And as for not playing if u dont have an edge, half of these guys havnt even played vs me, yet they stil refuse action. I could understand if they have played me and been unsuccesful, but most of them have just seen the fact that im a reg and simply will not play regs. Joke.

    what would be a real joke is if you hit n run every 6max reg who tries to start a 6max table

    Hit n run? The only time I will sit a 6max table is when there is one player for HU action, and the only time i will leave that table is when more players come to sit. I cant get action as it is, you think I would hit n run?? I would play you or anybody on this site all day. So yea, thats not hit n run.

    Really good blog by Phil Galfond that highlights issues like above, enjoy.

    I have used the term bum hunting in the past as something i have done but only meant it as table selection in ring games, but i never refuse to play anyone, if table breaks i will normally be the last to leave, real bum hunters takes chasing fish to a new level though

    They're not all as dumb as pokerkinga. ;)

    A guy called 'ladyfingers' posted an open invitation to anyone to play a prolonged HU game v him @ 50 or 100nl.........

    He was also fed up of the lack of proper action.

    Maybe you should play eachother.

    you would think so but no :/ he refused me action at 200nl about 2 weeks ago. I dont see why Sky cant have a system like on stars where u can only sit one empty table. So if ur a bumhunter, be prepared to share your fish with every other bumhunter.

    Thank god people in poker have the freedom to play whoever they want, Absolutely nothing wrong with refusing to play somebody.Its common sense not to play other regs.

    By the way, regs refusing to play you is good news for you. You will not have enough of an edge to be profitale against any decent winning heads up reg at 50 NL to 200NL..

    Poker players have the right to invest their money in games where they think they will gain a positive return long term, after the rake in deducted. Bookmakers lay odds to punters, not each other. Otherwise all the bookmakers would go broke in the long run, because any edge wont be significant enough to be profitable long term. Good gamblers, almost always gamble when the edge is in their favour.

    People would be better served having more of a business mentality when it comes to poker, rather then an ego driven mentality.

    You make a perfectly valid point that people have the choice who they wish to play.

    However with the limited table spawning here (I think there is an upper limit at the HU Cash tables) surely you must agree on a one table limit per person alone at a table?

    It is if you walk once a third player sits after you doubled up. You are right though , one hu table should be open at each level and they should only spawn when tables are full.

    Why would I continue to play in a game which my skillset is not up to par? (3handed+) My point is that at 50NL, 95% of regs have glaring leaks, especially on Sky. Its not like a 10knl game where you would maybe think more about who you are playing because the leaks are minimal amongst regs. And in response to the "business mentality" post, yea I agree with that, but whoever is serious enough about poker to take this mindset should be confident about playing any regs at 50NL because they have put the time and effort in to improve there game.

    its the same isnt it?

    why would a "bumhunter" play someone he thinks may be better than him?

    Because HU and 6max are 2 completely different games. There are players on the site who would destroy me at 6 max. The difference is that these players are HU players and are refusing to play HU vs a reg, If i leave a table because somebody joins it is no longer a heads up table. If u consider yourself a HU player then dont refuse action to people at 50nl-100nl HU. Thats like saying I should play anybody at Omaha Hi-lo but why would I when i dont know how to play. Same as playing 6 max to me.

    I would suggest it's a compliment to you if they refuse to play you HU, their basically saying they think they have no edge versus you ) It's blantantly obvious if you no edge HU then it's pointless playing :S

    Funny how you sit out when the table starts to fill because you have no edge in 6 max, and then you try and justify it.
    Maybe if you play some regs at 6 max then they may be more inclined to return the action and play you HU.

    or is it just a one way steet you drive on sir!

    I have rarely played 6max. I dont consider myself to be better than average at 6max. However, every player who sits at a HU table first obviously believes that they are a better HU player than any other game. I dont want 6max regs to change the game they play just so i can get action, I want the players who consider themselves HU players to play me at the game they believe is their strongest.

    I don't know whether iLoveToast plays the game to make a living or recreationally, but if the only way for them to make money is by playing HU, and the only way for them to get HU action is by 'starting' 6max tables and leaving when someone joins and the game becomes 3 handed... That's not HU players' fault for refusing action. It's not iLoveToast's fault for "Hit 'n' Running". It means that whatever the site has in place for HU at this moment in time isn't working as people shouldn't have to sit at a 6max table to play HU.

    BTW, if you're looking for action, try playing Zing, I'm pretty sure he'll play anyone.
