Re: What to do when a player goes south?

I guess I'll take a different view and say it DOES matter ... even in Limit. I used to play in a place that allowed you take anything more than $500 off the table in a 10-20 limit game. Lots of donks would build up a stack and then keep cashing out everything over $500. Then, whenever they lost that $500, they left, ensuring themselves of a win of $XX.
OTOH, in casinos where it isn't allowed, I've seen players with >2k or 3k in front of them (10-20 limit) donk off the entire amount before leaving the table with nothing. If they were allowed to rathole, I'm sure they would have, and left with a profit (or lessened our profit .... depending on your POV).

^^ While this is all true, it makes no sense.
It's not your money even if the guy is a fish. From an EV standpoint it's like saying that it's rude for a losing player to buy a pizza before they sit down, as if they didn't, you could win the extra $12.
