It seems that they have multiplied, like rats, in the past week. I see one at almost every 3,6 table and last night at 5,10 one or two nearly the whole time.

yes.

i was at some of the functions that fukken_eh mentioned at the wsop. many of the partys upper management people were very vocal about how valuable the top VIPs were, and it wasnt just words, they treated us very well also. i agree with the concerns in the original post. one of the new executive PartyHosts gave me his card, i will try to email him this thread.

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.

This discussion has been done to death in the Internet forum. Winning multitablers are good customers. They pay a lot of rake when playing eachother.

Since I am one of the few here who don't use PT, I don't know what StinkyPrincess' stats are from when I've played with her. But she has posted stats in other threads to indicate otherwise than what you say. And I've seen her rathole much less than a double up, like $125.

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.
