Avoidance can also work. If you don't want to play with rat holers get on the wait list for tables with 2+ players waiting. These tables tend to have zero or only one rat holer as they can not leave and then rejoin after doubling up. I kinda like this, because it removes the rat holers opportunities. Lately I've seen tables on 2/4 with 4 - 5 players seated all with < $120.

Personally, I find having 1 (sometimes 2) rat holer at the table fine. It's fun picking up an easy $60 or $80. 2+ rat holers at a table can completely screw the table dynamics. The fish get pissed off and leave. I can't count how often someone asks, "what's [censored] with all these russians pushing?", and then fish leaves in 10 minutes. Next thing you know another rat holer sits in and now there at 3 rats, big stacks sit out.... boom table breaks down. No fun.

Apparently a fix is coming. In the mean time we adjust our game.
