I wanted to play headsup PLO the other night, so I sat down at my first table, played about 20 hands, won about $17 off my opponent and then he sits out.

Went to another table to vs a new player, won about $10 and they sat out too.

Noticed the previous table I was on, and the player was no longer sitting out so sat back down but he sat out instantly.

Why? Do I smell?

Obviously they felt like they couldn't read or beat you..... take it as a compliment and go find a player that you can crush who won't sit out after only playing for a few hands.

Good luck

Thats hapend to me. And I learn that HU players stand up if they lost money fast. You try lose money in 5 minutes and with no winning hand.

As someone else said, they probably couldn't get a read on you. I would assume that you play an unorthodox HU style. It's really the only reason I could see for them not wanting to play after only a few hands. In other words, they didn't feel they had the "edge" on you, that they feel they have on other opponents. On the flip side, start sitting at every HU table u can, and I'm sure you will get some takers that are willing to play multiple tables with you. Best of luck in crushing HU!
