Can you implement some way to opt-out of joining tables with less than X players? Or at least opt-out of joining tables with only 1 player. I agree with OP, if I wanted to play heads-up I would have joined a heads-up table! It’s bad enough we are forced to post a blind before sitting out, but forcing us to sit at tables like that is f’d up.
It should be setup that if you select a table size higher than 2 and you are sat at a table with only 1 player you should prompt each player if they want to be dealt in.
Another way to handle this would be when a new table is created and players are being sat, they are automatically sat out for a period of time until at least 3 players are sat. And to avoid players joining and immediately sitting out to observe the table or eventually having multiple players ‘perma sitting out’, add either a new table timer to remove them or add a button like ACR has to start a countdown to remove them.
Since your firm on not showing regular cash table count or player counts, you need to improve how players are being seated and fair ways to let new tables fill up before forcing a player to post a blind. It’s just not good business to remove options that are considered standard and then force players to post blinds on 6/9 tables when they would be playing heads up immediately upon being seated.
