Bumhunters
Fucking bumhunters. Every time I try to get a session going now I get denied action, either immediately or after 3 hands, mostly because of my PTR. Sometimes they wait to stack me once before quitting, which is even more annoying. Either way, it’s become so frustrating trying to find a game. I am literally looking at a list of 10 100PLO HU tables with 1 person waiting and every single one I’ve marked as a bumhunter who insta sits if I sit down.
Anyway, really need to play more poker this month and stop getting distracted by real life. Despite being my most profitable month in ages, I’ve only played about 40 hours online so far. I was really into it at the beginning and everything, playing 3-4 hours a day, but I think the frustration of finding games has put me off. At the beginning of the month when I would regularly find myself in epic HU matches lasting several hours reaching 500bb effective stacks at times; now, people will barely play for longer than 20 minutes and will sit out before we get 200bb deep.

This is probably a silly question, but have you ever considered "Biasing" your HU PTR graphs by specifically dumping enough to make you look like a break-even/slightly losing player?

By dumping do you mean purposefully losing? In which case you probably spend more doing that than you gain in terms of action.
If you mean chip dumping to someone, it probably isn't worth the effort or risk of getting punished.
