There's something that I've often wondered about....and I'm sure there are many who know more about it than I do.....these 7 Day no rathole tables...there are 3 of them at different stakes, but I'm thinking of the big one, $50/$100 where you put down $1000, no more and no less....and there is often over $300,000 on the table.That mean that 300 people would have had to sit down and lose their money in so short a time, OK maybe less because some will rebuy of course. I have so many different thoughts about this table....I can't help thinking something horrible is going on. I mean super-users. Does anybody know for sure what the real situation is?

It's a cash table, NLH or PLO, on ACR or BCP or True Poker, and will be at the top of the list because it's the highest limit they have

An example of how it works to be clear:

Player X buys-in for $1,000 and wins $1,000 and leaves the table with $2,000. Two days later he returns to play again and when he sits down, he will be prompted to buy-in with the $2,000 he left with. This is the only option if he wants to play on the 7-Day No Rathole Tables again.

After a 7-day period from when player X originally won his money, it resets and he’ll be able to sit down again for the set buy-in.

Thanks for a basic explanation that answers the question as well.

I was a little confused as to how this worked. I guess "ratholing" is what I would call "going South" or "hitting and running". But can you not still do it once in this scenario - but not twice in seven days?

Thank you so much ACR Rep, you cleared that up perfectly, now I can understand how it all fits together. I guess I was just really paranoid!!!
