The group think mentality poker sites are showing now is kind of funny. They are panicked at the decrease in traffic and revenue, but as many do in times of panic, their solutions are only worsening the problem.
HU as it has been rolled out has been flawed for some time, but so long as there were actual depositing players putting money on the site with the specific intention to play it, their goal should be to try to clean it up, not remove it. They are looking for a boogeyman and HU is an easy target for why revenues are declining. HU shows off so clearly the way in which playing online poker has become pretty much just a profession but the problem is that the problems in HU are the symptom, not the disease. The disease continues whether you remove it or not, but when you do remove it, you lose a lot of good customers along the way. The disease continues as online poker is now just a pro fest of people desperately searching out weak players, more and more pro's dropping out because their is so much less money to earn, and the average table becoming increasingly difficult as the pro's that remain are only getting better.
Is there even a list of sites anymore that still offer normal heads up games?
