Default Re: ratholers unite

Im not a ratholer, but any situation where the edge of the top 5% increases then the other 95% are harmed due to it being a zero sum game.

Stars should protect the 95% because they are the lifeblood of the site - not just in rake, but in having the top 5% play there.

Why are there no 6max games 25/50 and above?

Why are PS so slow in adding these features?

Which pro?

One argument would be that they would be losing 5k/month in rake from me alone.

hm, seems like there are lots of people who do 5k/mo in rake. thats like a bit over half of a regular msnl month. i doubt that would be a v convincing argument.

how is that? they never see flops


And I was there when this was discussed in the chat.. The pro's name is John Tuthie. This shortstacker is making this post out of fear that his cockroaching days are over. Instead every regular at high stakes should take this opportunity and send an email to stars and ask for seperate shortstack games where they can leech of eachother
