    Default Anyone doing any double VPP operations this week?

    In case you haven't heard, Stars is giving double vpps for all SNGs (no heads up) and cash games until July 6th. Is this a good time to take shots or should someone stay at their current level?

    I am at 25NL, very close to being rolled for 50NL.. I was thinking of playing a lot of extra hours this week to take advantage of the double rakeback and to make a push towards nova.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    You could rathole the $5/$10 tables.

    It's a less than endearing term for short stacking.

    Almost but not quite.

    To rathole is to take money off a table - simple as that. It is commonly associated with shortstacking, or to be more specific if you are only willing to play with a given stack size. You can leave a table and rejoin the same table with a stack of your preferred size which is the epitome of ratholing - but just leaving a table when your stack is too big for what you feel comfortable with is also ratholing.

    It is a derogatory term, usually used by people who want to take your moneyz and who wants you to think that leaving before you've lost your money to them is somehow a bad thing. There's really nothing wrong with choosing to limit your exposure in any game that you have decided to play.
