Well, ratholing is certainly not cheating. Some players may feel that it's unethical, but it really isn't. It's just part of a strategy that is profitable. It certainly isn't optimal, but it is undoubtedly +EV.

At Party, for instance, you only need to be off the table for 1 hand. Then you can buy back in for any amount over the minimum. I've never really tested it at a lot of sites. I do know that Pokerstars makes you wait for 1 hour. Most people simply leave one table and sit in at a new one. Are you okay with that? Is it the part about them coming back to your table that bothers you?

Please name the site that allows someone with 7 IDs to play. In fact, name the accounts that you think are being played by one person. I have no problem e-mailing a link to this thread to a poker site and asking them to investigate. There's not a poker room out there that wouldn't follow up on something like this.

What you are implying is a very serious charge. Much more serious than just the part about whether short-stack system players are winning. It's bad for business. Mine, in that unsubstantiated stories like this scare away new players...and new players are where the future of my game is. And the poker sites as well, because you are flat out accusing them of being too stupid to prevent the most elemental kind of cheating. Worse, inexperienced players may get the impression that the sites just don't care.

I think you're very wrong here. I appreciate that you respect my opinion; I ask that you rethink your argument.
