Re: the root of the problem
[ QUOTE ]
Is that there is a perception that changing the size of your stake when changing tables equals ratholing. By definition ratholing is removing chips from your stake while playing. This isn't specific enough for he nits. Nits think that all games of a specific type/limit are all part of the same game. They aren't. Each table is a different game, whether the type/stakes are similar or different. Therefore ratholing does not apply when you switch to a different game.

Good post.
Rarely does a very good player change games to chip down. Instead, it's usually a weaker player who wants to protect one of his rare wins. Meanwhile, requiring that a player start over with the fixed/spread buy discourages table changes by good players.
