Re: Dealing with a ratholer....
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I am confused, how does ratholing affect the limit game? Scary Tiger, I know you play a lot limit games, would you please enlighten me? Thanks! [/ QUOTE ] If he doesn't have enough to complete the hand, then you have worse implied odds. [/ QUOTE ] Nah, I don't think that is a big deal really. It's limit, I think you have to sit with at least 5xBB which equates to nearly the whole hand if he calls down...but if it was raised preflop multiple times, then your right, as he would get massive pot odds for draw hands, same goes for on the flop. But I think it would hurt him just as much, for not being able to capitalize on trips properly, calling too many draws. Another advantage I could see is an easy turn bluff bet (if that puts him all in). But this is SO much more effective in NL. I really would not worry about a rat holing limit player.

if it was a live game, he may be able to see some hands for free by not paying blind. I think that is common enough. [/ QUOTE ] I don't get it.

Since he does, it serves to limit his loses. [ QUOTE ] Another advantage I could see is an easy turn bluff bet (if that puts him all in). But this is SO much more effective in NL. [/ QUOTE ] There's no chance the guy folds for one bet on the turn when he has one bet left. [ QUOTE ] I really would not worry about a rat holing limit player. [/ QUOTE ] Well of course you wouldn't. You don't play limit.
