I'm open to hearing of better ways to play, Ms Waitress :-)

Basically, I took the info from the "Beating the Micros" thread (wherever that was) coupled with the "It takes a better hand to call than it does to raise" theory and I've ended up with my stats.

I muck AJo UTG. If a 10/3/30 open-raised UTG and I'm on the BTN I'll muck AJ then too.

Far more often than not I end up with stations in the blinds, so stealing isn't really an option.

So ratholing 100bb is fine, but ratholing 20bb makes you the scum of the earth ????

Either shortstacking is fine or this is unethical, you can't have both.

Once you have won the money and it is in your stack it is now yours. That's right, YOURS. You are allowed to do with YOUR money what you wish. You are allowed to leave the table with YOUR money when YOU want.

It is not unethical, not matter what the stakes. It is just very very annoying for the other person. Many people claim it is unethical because many people seem to think that annoying = unethical, but they have nothing to say when you ask them "why" it is unethical.
