Yes it can't. Works in casinos as well. Would also work hu.
Think about the chart that PG posted of the Pokerstars lobby.
Let's assume 20 hu players sit and wait, two actually play.
If we have a wait list the this would create 10 additional games, sit everybody in and everybody post their blinds. Now if people start quitting they will have to play at least one hand or forfeit their blinds.
Essentially u gonna have to decide whether to play or not, but u can't sit around. Yet u have enough freedom to quit certain players.
This could be increased by forcing a certain amount of blinds to be played (if u quit opponent gets ur blinds, in bigger games they become antes)
This would make exploitation by seat selection. Impossible.
So global wait list are a solution.
KOTH is not. Must move is also not a solution.
KOTH only benefits the top players, as they would keep the seats and force everybody away. This cannot ever ever ever happen. In a KOTH I could never play HU ever. HU is not my main game and I am somewhat of a fish.
Must move ist just not made for online. All that is needed is the wait list ( which is part of must move) but we do need to reseat players all the time from one table to another. That makes no sense. MUst move only makes sense when there are 2-3 tables and the only purpose in poker is to have full tables.
