Re: Ratholing NL08.

this should not be employed as a strategy to continually sit-out and rebuy and never put yourself at risk. IMHO it is unethical.

this is precisely "the system" that Idiot and Predator use, for anyone who cares to learn that trade. they buy-in for the absolute minimum at $5/$10NLO8, play HU and push any Ace or any pocket pair Jacks or higher generally. if limped to, they will also push with must wheel card hands. thus a good counter strategy is to limp/trap with good 4 card hands.
if they bust, they rebuy for the min again at the same table. if they double-up, they open a new 5/10 table for the min buy-in, close the original table, and disallow their opponent to try to win their bigger stack.
keep in mind, this is the "ultra-secret" $5/$10 NLO8 HU strategy. the shortstackers who play the full ring games aren't necessarily all ratholers though, i'd say that less 75% of them are. the majority of the fullring shortstackers are just under rolled.
