I mean yeah, they are going to remove siting out at non-dealing tables in 2 months, but still...
Allowing players at Ring tables to deny Heads Up action and wait for a third player has been one of our Ring Game rules for over two years now. As we are removing players’ ability to sit out at non-dealing tables in the near future, it would actually take longer for us to change the rule and educate players on the rule change to the point where we would feel comfortable enforcing the rule manually.
Additionally, we are only comfortable changing this rule as a result of our Table Starters feature which allows players to start a new Ring table without having to play Heads Up without first sitting out at a new table.

On another table play dies out, everyone leaves.
Suddenly the guy gets booted from his sitting table while there's a new/old empty table available. That doesn't make sense.
I presume you get some message with the reason for kicking you off the table, which people at the old table understand because their table just stopped playing.
What should be the message for the guy sitting? "you get kicked off the table because other people decided to stop playing"
I get why you don't want to give the advantage to the guy sitting, but it creates really weird situations.
Currently, when there is a choice to be made about which table to close, the oldest table is closed. In the near future, this will be changed to the table that most recently stopped dealing, and the reasoning behind that choice is mostly along the lines of G1lius’s post.
With the most recent client update, you should also see improved client messaging when you’re seated at a table that closes as a result of this feature.

As we stated before, we have an LHE only promotion coming up in the near future. In addition, LHE is as always included in the Milestone and Golden SNG promotions described at the above link.
Game Integrity and Player Reports
All players that have been directly mentioned in this thread or in a PM as partaking in abusive behavior have either been investigated or are currently being investigated.
While some of the behavior that has been complained about isn’t technically against the rules, it’s still good to hear about behavior that is generally felt to have crossed a line as that can influence future policy and feature changes.
Thank you to all players who took the time to notify us about angle shooters and rule violations.
