Default Re: Table Change allows ratholing?

Voluntary table change...you have to post? ...you need minimum buy in? ...you are treated like a new player? ...if you missed your blind at the old table, do you have to make up your blinds at the new table?

Player X takes money off of players on Table A. The 'anti-ratholing' rule is to allow players on Table A a shot at winning the money back, as long as Player X is there and trying to take more money off of them.
Player X moves to Table B. Why should the players there have a 'right' to win that money?
Player X cashes out. Comes back 8 hours later. Same players on Table A. Should he be required to buy in with what he left with?

Question for "must take it all" proponents:
George buys in $200. Runs it up to $1000. Moves to second table. Forced to take all $1000. Loses $700 quickly. Gets table change back to original table. It has been 10 minutes since he left.
Can he sit down with the $300 he has left?
