Default Re: Nevada and California Rules regarding Table Change buy ins

[ QUOTE ]
Players moving to a game of the same limit, on a voluntary basis are required to keep the same stack and are not allowed to cash out. Player's from a forced move situation, such as a broken game, can enter for less than the minimum buy in, provided thats all the chips they had when the game broke.

Not in LA.

Interesting to note that Robert's Rules... widely regarded as the most complete/universal set of poker room guidelines, doesn't cover this topic in any way, shape or form.

Therefore abiding by the min/max buy-in rules when switching tables, and subsequently having to remove some chips from play, is NOT equivalent to ratholing.

Holy friggin' cow batman, NOT, switching tables is NOT equivalent to ratholing. That makes a big difference!

I've been asking around town and opinions remain mixed on this, with probably about 2/3 taking the opposite stance as myself. However, no one has convinced me to change my mind yet. I see some of the biggest casinos in the country do it differently than the typical LV casino (they make you bring it all, regardless of capped buy-ins). Therefore the reasons why should be looked at more closely (most of the opposite camp from me took a hard and fast opinion with little thought before they answered).
