Gladly.
If you look at the tables, they are arranged alphabetically. Thus the players sitting alone at tables that start with "A" have a better chance of catching a fish than the players sitting at tables that start with... I dunno, "J".
So let's say I want to get one of those "A" tables, because I will play anyone on the site at 1/2 and I want the top real estate.
I sit at the top table and the player there says "NO TY". I ignore this for 15 minutes until he says again "NO TY PLEASE LEAVE OR I WILL REPORT YOU TO FTP". Either I leave and he gets the table, or I stay and FTP possibly punishes me.
The end result is the prime-real estate, the tables that start with A, being given to the players who wont play anyone but fish and will go to the ends of the earth to ensure that they keep those tables.
This also means less rake for the sites because nobody battles for the prime real estate.
Overall it just promotes a really unhealthy environment for HU games. I wouldn't mind if all poker sites didn't have HU games, but if you're going to institute HU games then you need to make it so the best tables belong to the players who will play anybody.
