Thank you for your replies.

Let me just clarify a couple of things. I was not "fishing for compliments", like "you must be so good they don't want to play with you". Also, I realize game selection is a big part of many peoples strategy (including my own).

This is why I mentioned that I haven't really played that much HU at FTP, so I wouldn't expect most people to have much stats on me. Some may, but we're talking a very large percentage of players who sit at the table, and then sit out when I join. Let's just say maybe 50% or more. I mostly buy in full, but not always. If they don't have a full buyin, I probably tend to buy in for a little more than they have. Doesn't seem to me that my buy in pattern would be that unusual.

So, I am personally left with the theory that a lot of people only want to play a very select list of people, basically they must be using "friends" lists, and if you're not on the list, they don't play you. This would probably be done using data mining, and since this "sitting out" happens so frequently, it would look like data mining followed by *very* selective game selection would be a growing trend. This since I didn't use to have problems getting people to play with me.

Anyway, I was just curious about you opinions.

Thanks again for your replies,

Maybe they just doubled up and were leaving anyway.
