Re: Ratholing NL08.
Another reason why ratholing works better right now online than standard expert big-stack play is that so many players at the higher levels online are really good right now. To play just like every other good player is to play 50/50 at best and potentially give up a skill edge if you aren't as good as you think.
But it's easy to be a ratholer. It negates the big stack's skill advantage, if he has one, and it puts him off his game. As a matter of prinicple, I don't really like it a whole lot, but ratholing does work.
