with the HU tables..atm with no cap on # tables, since ~99% of people are basically bumhunting waiting for a fish to sit it becomes a game of 'who can open the most HU tables and have a larger share of the fish'. obv you dont want anything to change ajs since you are currently the best at this game i think.
with a capped # of HU tables it not only makes the lobby alot more appealing ..(its pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain whats going on with all these people sitting at HU but not playing against each other) but it also makes it alot fairer for the people sat HU so they dont have to open a billion tables to get a similar sized slice of the pie so to speak
delete hu pot limit tables and in general they are useless no one plays them at 6max either
cap table spawning at each level to 6-7(like 100nl atm) so you actually have people competing for spots when site is busy so you don't attract more hu leeches who only play recreational players (it's getting worse and worse if you haven't noticed somehow)

FWIW I had a long 'rant'/'chat'/'friendly discussion' with the Sky guys and much of the hour and a half was spent talking about the HU issue with the horrible disgusting bum hunters and their refusal to play!
Filters really should save when you set them and being able to filter by a stake would be helpful.
Hmmmm might have to do another 'suggestions' post now I think about it.
I would welcome a ruling from sky that you can only have one type of table per level. The vast majority of players adhere to this already. As for numbers of tables they should just keep spawning and anyone who doesnt want to see them just use the filters.
As for bumhunting, yes everyone you see hu is bum hunting to a certain extent. Some more than others, I think the title of biggest bum hunter is still weareontv lol. But I have no problem with that good luck to him. 99% of 6 max players are bum hunting to a certain extent again some more than others. A 6 max game only gets going when there is a guy there whos spends money. Poker is no different to any other business there needs to be someone spending money or there is no game.
Book makers are bum hunters. If you show a profit at sports betting they ban or restrict you. Did I read sky did this with gadgerno over rugby betting (might be wrong was a few months ago I read it).
As for me if i dont think I can make a profit in a game I dont play, would love to play any game but thats the reality of playing for a living.
Oh and my final point I think more regs would take each other on if the rake wasnt so high. Time and time again I take someone on hu at 100 or 200nl. We play for 20 min or so and we have paid 20 pound in rake between us. If there was no rake (never going to happen i know) there would be very few people I wouldnt play.
Thanks for all the feedback so far guys, lots of interesting points and counter-points made so far, including some of your issues/concerns with the heads up section of the lobby, this is something which we've been monitoring for a while and is very much on our radar.
The pro's and con's of the current situation and most of the ideas suggested so far on this thread are already being debated internally, we definitely wont be rushing into making any changes to such a key part of the poker room.
Please feel free to keep feeding back on here and debating between yourselves, it's really useful for us to get your opinions and thoughts on something like this and it's an interesting topic.
Have a great weekend guys
Kind Regards

P.S. Andrew: that was an interesting discussion at DTD, i'll respond to your pm early next week

I would say leave same too, as for hu tables you can filter them out.
with a capped # of HU tables it not only makes the lobby alot more appealing ..(its pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain whats going on with all these people sitting at HU but not playing against each other) but it also makes it alot fairer for the people sat HU so they dont have to open a billion tables to get a similar sized slice of the pie so to speak

maybe then 6max won't be as dead as it is atm
