It's impossible to rathole online anyway. Ratholing involves taking chips off the table. What you're complaining about involves leaving the table completely and starting afresh.

This is the definition of ratholing. ie Taking chips off the table and starting "afresh" with 20bb.

That's leaving a table completely. Ratholing is slipping chips off the table.

So if you have 70bb, stand up and instantly sit back down again at the same table, in the same seat with 20bb. Then you have slipped those chips off the table, which is what we are complaining about. And what alot of russian shortstackers are doing.

So see you really do agree with our complaints you just didnt realise it.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM LOGICS

A 5 minute time limit will solve that problem. Gives plenty of time for others to occupy that seat.

I can't see what is unethical about it. The purpose of the game is to win money. Unless playing short is superior to playing deep, I don't see the issue. A check raise or bluff could be considered unethical if we're gonna say leaving ahead is.
