Party Poker - Time for Action

I wonder what the ratholeres would do if they cant rathole... hmm play poker or blackjack ? seems like an obv move for PP, they just need a push.

considering we know most of the ratholers are 2+2ers, they'd prolly all just play full stacked, and the games would continue to suck

You made this argument in the other thread - ratholing kills action, and shortstacks either don't have the roll or don't have the ability to play full stacked at these levels. There are 2+2ers who can easily be donators in these sorts of games - and they know it too, by shortstacking and ratholing. It's not reducing risk, it's increasing their limited edge.

I disagree with that - some of them, probably most are not good poker players, certainly not good enough to beat the 5k full stacked. Some like PinkPrincess are actually long term losing players.

well i know pinkprincess can play limit holdem, and worst case scenario they go back to lower limits of NL and grind their way up?

most ratholers can.

people who think that these ratholers are generally guys who could really beat the game good with full stacks (but choose not to) make me laugh.

i have never seen a player who went from ratholing to full stacks (or vice versa) and proved to be a tough player.

they arent as good, so they rathole. its pretty simple.

[fsuplayer]

the exception to this is probably KKF, but he only ratholed for a couple days iirc.

[SlowHabit]

What does iirc means? And what exactly is "Z"omg?

And seeing "ratholers" with a full stack (ala "insert bad playing shortie who occasionally buys in full") makes me feel like DN when Helmuth showed up on HSP.


edit: its better for everyone if we leave specific names out (when talking about poor players obv)

didnt XRatholerX used to rathole a bit at 5/10??

[fsuplayer]

i should have clarified that i meant the 2k games. i have never played the 1k's with much frequency to say either way.
