Nevada and California Rules regarding Table Change buy ins

[mrKevin]

Ok, here's a question that we are discussing in our poker room.

Let's say the game is 1/2 NL with a $500 cap. Player makes a sick run and runs it up to say $2500, whatever. He then wants to transfer tables to another 1/2 NL game.

There are two options and two ways to look at this.

1) He HAS to bring the full amount $2500. This would put him at an advantage at the table.

2) He can ONLY buy in for the max at the new table, even though it's the same game. This would put him on a fair playing field with everyone else at that table.

3) he has an option???


I personally think it should be #2. Let's say we let him buy in for the full $2500, now he goes all in every hand and gets an advantage over everyone. The arguement for #1 was that now players at the other table have no shot at their money back.

What do you think? And what have you experienced at other casinos. Floorpeople please chime in.
