Reducing By Team Sky
Hilarious how LOLUFOLD team sky ambassador likes to reduce whenever the game gets deep. He had a 10k stack on 1 of our 2 tables and decided to leave as soon as I double my stack. He was however happy to play 4 tables starting at 100bb to which I obliged and luckily managed to get most back...surely this isn't the type of etiquette TEAM SKY should be promoting?

However looking at it the other way, maybe it prevents a heavy loss should he make a mistake? One way of protecting the BR?
Maybe if he gives a warning next time before you start playing though just to clarify.
Is this not simply ratholing described by a different name? If it is how can it not be bad etiquette when its banned on all sites I've played on? If he tried to sit back back in he would have to bring his big stack with him. If the tactic is as blatant as dohhh describes it is very poor etiquette IMO.
Sparce your a great player but if this is indeed ratholing you do yourself no favours trying to justify it, if I am wrong I apologise in advance. I have seen a well known player employing the same tactics at 6 max when he hits 300bb's, yes, we may leave whenever we wish to but if this is done repeatedly its out of order IMO.
Ratholing is generally only frowned upon when people buy in for less than 100bbs.
Apologies Sparce of course I was referring to offshoot comments on the thread, but its nice to see you still following my every word bdog!
Offshoot, try buying in for a full buy in and double up, leave and see if you can return 5 mins later for only one full buy in, if its not frowned upon why won't sites allow you to do it?
ok so if k88moss still wants to play he can join another table and continue playing, its a new game though so its not ratholing. Its totally different to a 6 max scenario where someone leaves and the game carries on.
You learn something everyday, thanks Cowgomoo. If this is the case I have no idea why the post was created in the first place, just don't agree to reduce if you want to play deep, its simple.
Well that somes that up.

As for the issue at hand, I am extremely undecided. I can see the arguments both ways. In these situations, i think it should probably go down to who is the value when all this money is changing hands. personally i think its a little unfair to reduce and carry on playing if both players in the party r not in agreement. Like if Reds was the fish in the game fair enough, but i think he is favorite? But at least he doesnt run completely and offers something - however tilting this must be to an opponent he has just taken 9k off.
One thing i notice about Reds is he is very good at playing to his own strengths, and how he feels comfortable. This is what makes him a good player and why he wins soo much. He always plays on his terms. Something us spew monkeys like myself, and I am guessing K88 need to learn.
