Dealing with a ratholer....
I'm playing at pokerroom and this guy takes his profit off the table after every hand...he is a fish but the other fish dont get a chance to get their money back and neither do I..is there anything that can be done about this? support should really not allow this guy to abuse the system so badly cause if you break it down he is limiting his losses and everybody should be doing the exact same thing.

Re: Dealing with a ratholer....
if ratholing were the way to play poker, why wouldn't al the best poker in the world be doing it?
Simply put, they're not. |

[/ QUOTE ] Well, all you are really doing is playing against a short stack. The idea that he 'takes his profits away' is silly...if he busts out, you don't think he will sit back down? Just adjust for the short stacker and keep playing. I'd leave the table if I was getting real annoyed though. |

is there anything that can be done about this? [/ QUOTE ] a) don't play at his tables b) play at a different site where ratholing is not allowed to occur c) adapt your play to take advantage of or at least to offset what you perceive as his advantage in playing with a short stack |

Re: Dealing with a ratholer....
Whenever you raise (i.e. with a hand), always raise exactly to whatever his current stack size is...he'll get the point.
Or follow one of the suggestions above. Or say "Wow, I've never seen any good poker players do that in game." [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: Dealing with a ratholer....
It was a a limit game so some of the advice doesnt apply. But mostly I was just getting upset that this guy was taking money off the table after every hand and limiting his loss per hand to 6 big bets.

Limit ratholer?
That's a good one. Complaining about it? I liked that one even better! |

The correct answer is to put hom on your buddy list and follow him around. How often can you be guaranteed to have a fish in the game?
