Moron Watch -When will Sky ever act?
£1-2 : £2-4 HU just 37 tables waiting not one game running. 12 people comprising those 37 seats. this isn't even including the whole high stakes HU bumhunting lobby farce.
Why are Sky so inept and unwilling to attempt to change things?

What are they meant to do make them play each other???
cant really be all that if all they can do is sit there and not play
please sky sort this out.
good luck at the tables if you do get to play on any lol
If I was sky I would get rid of them, Best to feed 5 regs who spend loads on rake than one who spends next to nothing.
They are not morons though. Got it from a reliable source that one of the more prolific ones has made 400k since 2009, with the majority coming from bum hunting hu.
Poker economy is in decline, but I think there are bigger reasons than hu bumhunters.
I think the worst culprits for the decline are the sites themself.
Not just a HU sky high stakes problem
Sharks will always feed on fish
Like can you ever band pro's going to macua or other places and feeding on these rich busisness men who throw money away.
Either deny them the chance to do it by removing HU tables or just live with it
I don't think it's in SKY best intrestes to remove these tables because of rake
But it just brings me round to people looking out for their own intrests, be it self emploted poker players or big corporate companies
that's life & it's never going to change
One possible solution is that a player cannot sit at an empty HU table unless they are sat playing at a 6 max table. If they leave their 6 max table or tables before a HU opponent turns up they automatically lose their waiting seat or seats at the HU tables. Only one HU table per 6 max game, so if a HU player wanted to sit waiting at four tables they would have to be playing four 6 max tables to do so.
With regard to stakes, a HU player wishing to wait for action must be playing at the same or highest available 6 max table to sit HU waiting for action.
Once a player begins a HU match they can leave the 6 max tables to concentrate on the HU game, but at its conclusion unless they are playing another HU match they must rejoin a 6 max game before they can wait HU again.
If this were implemented these players whom Beaneh refers to as not so good HU high stakes players would be gone, leaving only HU players who also play 6 max on the site.
Wonder how they pass the time?
Knitting perhaps :-)
