Default ratholers unite

Hey, was ratholin 25/50 the other day and one of the Poker stars pros gave me his e-mail and asked if I could write an agruement on why PS should not have a bigger max buyin.

Going to take the time to write a proper arguement. Feel free to contribute using my PM or this thread..

Because I like to unexploitably shove coinflip hands over the wide range of preflop raisers. When I win a flip I leave so as not to allow my play to become exploitable, or even worse, force me to play postflop where skill becomes a factor.

Which pro?

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

i'm just curious -- how do ppl rathole on Stars?
I thought they have the "timeout" refractory period.
Or is it just that there's so many tables to choose from, that they can rotate among them until their timeout is up.
