Default Re: How do deal with this guy

[ QUOTE ]
Ratholing in a limit game isn't nearly as bad as in a NL game, but I still don't like it.

If the player is a winning player, it's not fair to the other players.

If the player is a losing player, he should simply avoid playing. If you allow him to rathole, that isn't going to prevent him from going broke. When he starts losing more money, where will you draw the line when he starts asking for more "favors"?

If you let this guy rathole, you are treating the symptom, not the actual problem. The problem being that this guy is a lousy player who can't play by the rules. There are enough bad players out there that are more than happy to play poker by the book.

I don't see this as a player who can't play by the rules. He wants to quit while he's ahead, lots of people like to do that. He didn't come to the table asking to rathole, he only brought that up that idea when people complained about him quitting while he's ahead. Not the same thing at all.
