this game is about making money, not friends or a community or respect or anything else. money. whatever brings you the most money, go and do it. if people curse you for it then who cares.
fair play to them i say.
You should do what you want, cos it's all about winning money, but in the long run, you need to do things to help the games keep running. Even if doing these things are not as +EV as other options (playing HU with terrible players), they're still ALOT more +EV than there being no games running, which is what would happen if everyone was super selfish.
This happens everywhere, but there is no solution, if there was a solution don't you think another site would have come up with it. if the HU tables were limited to say 8 /level would be even better for me, limiting tables would make its so only the best HU players would get a table, in which case would mean more money would be taken out of site, as recreational players would have less chance of beating them.
basically whatever you do to try and solve the problem, it will cause a different problem.
Sky works well with cash, and thats the truth. think they should be looking less at cash tables and look more at improving tournaments, ironically i sent some ideas over to priority centre this morning regarding stt and mtt.
dont forget Sky is a stand alone site, and it has similar traffic on 6 max cash tables as do big networks such as ipoker and entraction, entraction has recently closed, or is soon too as traffic is so low, on there there are no games above 200 nl and only a few of them going daily. This network had 50+ skins, and is open to all of Europe, unlike skys UK only. Only site similarar to sky is PKR as it is a stand alone site sky has much better traffic, only thing they have better there is there are regularly 1k 6 max nl games going, but then again it is in $ so its like our 500 nl games, and these also run every day, and 90% of the time is a deepstack/mastercash.
I play ring and HU although i prefer HU, as i like the pace of the game, this is the same for recreational players too, sometimes you just want a fast paced action game. I play ring games also cos if i solely played HU, i would not earn enough. and lately have been playing more mtts and sit and goes, as money doesnt come as easy as it used to, so i have adapted, branched out and play all variations on the game.
To sum up the people that are moaning, should work on there game, maybe try different variations, this is online poker its not a charity. to survive you must work hard.
some people are so short sighted. the industry will NEVER run out of fish. so you might have to play elsewhere to find them. so what? and there are only a few on here that purely sit on HU tables and they mostly sit empty. the original post is just someone whining cause the easy games have dried up for him
but people who are too lazy/stupid to do this just sit at 5/10 hu and wait for someone they have a big edge over to play. it's like the complete opposite of how someone "should" develop their poker career.
and failing that, if your too lazy to improve then as the old saying goes 'if you cant beat them, join them.' just means you will have to put in 12 hours a day, rather than the average 10 hours/week you put in currently ajs
