Remove HU tables

Feedback

HU tables generate too little rake: bots and top players dominate them, quickly destroying recreational players. Professionals won’t play against each other.

Additionally, the lobby looks bad —recreational players struggle to find a table, and they won’t open an empty one.

The only ones benefiting from HU tables are a few top players and bots; they don’t even create the appearance of traffic.

    i dont agree with removing HU tables,in my opinion that would be huge mistake.special when only phenom and coin poker have hu games,they are dead everywhere.i will gladly play the bots,obv ifbots are same ones or similar ones like on coin.

    i see you have custom option,will that be option for me(just exp) to make a table with mix games,it can be hu or shorthanded.that would be awesome option

    I actually think HU tables at all stakes are good for the game.

    There are no bots at Phenom Poker. We aim to offer poker to all players, including recreationals and professionals.

    There are more features coming to increase traffic and fill tables. For now filter out empty tables and hu tables.

      Thank you for your response.

      It is very naive to believe that if there are no bots or advisors now, they will never appear. Tracking this is almost impossible.

      We have already lost at least a couple of players because of how the lobby looks right now — lots of open HU tables with no action. Most recreational players won’t bother with f

      ilters.
