Limit change rules for an existing cash game...
 

Just a question for players about their local card room rules.

An entire table is playing 1-2 NL, and the game has been live for several hours. Many of the players want to raise the limit and play 2-5 NL. How many objections from players at the table are required to prevent the game from changing to a 2-5 game?

Not sure but I think it has to be unanimous...

Johnny,
When I was in Reno they had this change game rule for the 10/20 to 20/40. It took two no votes to keep the game at the same limit. One no vote they game would change.

Most games that I have played in require an agreement from all of the players at the table.

Re: Limit change rules for an existing cash game...
 

Generally, all players, unless there's at least one spot open on a same-limit table elsewhere in the room that the objector(s) can move to.

In my room the floors seem to treat it differently if the players are changing to a game we regularly spread than if its a game we don't regularly spread.

So if a bunch of players are in the game playing $2-$4 and all but one want to play $4-$8 they will change the game. But if they want to play $3-$6 it won't happen if anyone objects. I don't think this is an official rule, just the way it works out.

Everywhere I have ever played it had to be unanimous.

Sometimes it even has to be unanimous including names on the list, if this is the only table available.

Re: Limit change rules for an existing cash game...
 

It a terrible idea to require unanimity. If you are trying to get a game going, you have 2 guys want to play $20-$40 and a few guys want to play $40-$80 and you talk the $40-$80 guys into playing lower until there game gets going. After a while you end up with 8 guys who want to play $40-$80 in a game with one $20-$40 player and you refuse to change the game these guys aren't going to want to help you start a game next time because then the game they want won't get started when they have enough players.

at commerce you need more than 1 objection to prevent the game from being changed.

Re: Limit change rules for an existing cash game...
 

If you need more than one objection, then find me a seat on a table at the current limit. I will switch tables with another player who wants to play the higher limit. I might even be willing to go up first on the list.

If you do not have another table at the current limit and you insist on upping the limits, you lost a customer.
