100 max buy in does no limit the pot at all. after many hours of rebuys at 2/5 nl everyone could have $2000 in front of them and all players go all in and you have a $20,000 pot.

Of course 100 max buy in limits the pot. Try sitting down at a newly formed table with 100 buy-in and see if you can get a pot larger than $1000. In July, they tried offering poker games without limits to buy-ins and the pari-mutuels cried foul and they stopped offering it. The intent is pretty clear to me and that is the Seminoles must play by the same rules that the pari-mutuel cardrooms play by so they do not have an unfair advantage.

Also, you would think the Seminoles would push more for 24 hour cardrooms and not give a crap about the buy-in rule. They make the same drop with a $20,000 pot as they do with a $50 pot. However, shutting down for 12 hours per day will cut their income in half and end their largest competitive advantage.

With this compact, their largest competitive advantage will be blackjack and other casino table games, which generate a lot more money than poker tables do.
