Lack of available midstakes Heads up tables

For the past few weeks, there have rarely been open tables for 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, or 5/10. This leaves me unable to sit at an empty table for these stakes, which every poker player should have a right to do.

On the off chance I have an open table at any stake, players will join my tables and repeatedly sit in and out for sometimes hours at a time. This has been against policy at every other poker site I've played at - yet your support told me this is acceptable behavior.

So I'm wondering a) if you are going to add more tables so there are enough tables for everyone, as there haven't been for 2 weeks now and b) if you are able to do anything about table blocking. I emailed support over a week ago about adding more tables and nothing has happened so far. Please let me know.

I asked support about this last week because new tables were not opening they said they would made a suggestion to the higher ups or something. No clue what that means

Seems like they start to quit generating at 50/1. This has to be losing them money and has been going on for weeks, wonder why they don't do anything.

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. Are you experiencing this problem at NLHE tables only, or is it widespread and involving PLO and PL games also? Any more information will be very helpful, thank you again.

Re: Lack of available midstakes Heads up tables

There is a thread about it in the carbon section with more information. This is only happening with the NL tables. Merge made it so there are a limited number of tables, and we are unable to start our own tables. It is basically destroying the heads up game on there.

There's a few people sitting HU in the custom table section right now, is that an option?

Yes it is. Click the "Poker Tables" tab from the client, then "Custom" and right under that tab there will be a "Create" button.

I understand this does not solve the overall problem, but at least now we also know this issue is NL specific.

This is by design. Merge has a King of the Hill System now.

Please KEEP this system when you change over to Revolution Network. The cake lobby is rediculous and will only get even worse when all the lock players move over. Having some sort of KotH system is the only way to fix it imo.

All they need to do is restrict players to 1 HU table per player per limit and it will clean up the lobbies a ton.

Re: Lack of available midstakes Heads up tables

if you're going to have a KOTH structure, then players constantly sit in and out to block each others tables should not be allowed, which is how it is at other sites. This is the email I received when I said someone had been sitting at all my tables for hours sitting in and out but not playing

Hi,

We cannot prevent players from sitting in and out of games and we hope that you can access a table soon.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
All our best,

Paul
