Finally, What's the reasoning behind limiting the buy in, more specifically having a max?

[/ QUOTE ]

Their are two reasons for the max buy-in

1) Keep the fish from blowing there bankroll to quickly. This is of concern to a casino because if all the fish dry up there is no game and they make no money. This is of concern to a home game because if your players all bust its hard to get a game going.

2) Many players incorrectly apply tournament pricncipals to cash games and believe that they are somehow disdvantaged if someone with more money then them puts a million dollars on the table.
