Hahahahaha.
Professional poker players aren't hurting anybody. In fact, I specifically know more than one situation where a professional player is now able to contribute
more to society because he/she now has excess money/time. This is mostly done through his/her church but also other charitable organizations.
Judging someone's character on the job he or she works is pretty shallow imo, especially in this situation because poker is a legalized, fun form of entertainment.
I'm not quite sure where all of this nonsense is being spouted off from, other than your desire to defend ratholing. But even in that case, almost all players are against shortstackers because they ruin the fun of the game. This is true for bad players, recreational players, amateur players, professional players, winning players, losing players, etc.
I mean, do you seriously only seek out tables that have professional players on them so that you can make their lives more difficult because you don't agree with what they do for a living? No. You can't. You can't because you have absolutely no way of knowing which players are professionals and which are not. But also you can't be that much against pros becuase
you ARE ONE!
So if you want to defend the ethics of ratholing, please pursue a different avenue. And stop calling the kettle black.
