Default HU: I sit down, they sit out NLCASH

On FTP, *VERY* often when I sit down at a HU table, the other person immediately sits out. I don't play that often, so unless he has done extensive data mining, he should not know anything about my skills, good or bad.
Looks like a lot of people sit at several HU tables, just taking up space rather than actually playing.
I have been trying to figure out why, since there must be a reason. Are they targeting very specific opponents or what ? Can anyone clarify ?

I only sit out against people with less than 40bbs if i'm not in the mood for that type of game.

I also need to leave my ego at the door and stop playing guys who are if anything at the same level as me or better.

Perhaps they have played with you before and thought you were so good that they would rather wait for softer competition.

i normally put a positive spin on it and assume they know enough about me to not want to play me. that's fine - plenty of fish in the sea. i'd be more unhappy about this at stars where there's limited tables.

there are some regs at ftp who refuse to play me. it's usually fine with me, i'm rather play donks who have no idea than regs who are decent.

sometimes it pisses me off though because i get tired of being in extremely +ev situations against idiots, esp shortstackers who think they're good at shortstacking and then I'm actually waaay better than them.
