Re: playing against ratholers
pot lays you 3/2
if ratholer range is loose (22+, any ace) then you within +EV to call.
if ratholer is medium range (77+ AT+ KQ+) then you should call with 55+, AJ+ and ATs.
Your call with 33 is certainly not out of line.
Properly playing these guys will actually make them leave your table. I have several SS who seem to leave within 30 minutes of my sitting especially if they are close on either side of me. I absolutely love that, cause even though it is well within their rights to attempt to play the game in any manner they choose, they still seem to be the gnats in the poker world.
Also, i still cannot figure out why if a zillion players request it, that the sites will not at least offer 100bb max buyin games with say a minimum of 50bb buyins so that players who absolutely hate sitting with the real shortstackers can have a game to play in which they prefer as well as the current games offered. Maybe somehow we could get together and get a unified request such as this.
