Cash on the table
We had a new player wanting to play with cash on the table, he felt he was comfortable with it. I know this is taboo, but I felt, this guy had made many unsucceful moves at becoming the table bully. I knew he would lose all/most of the cash he put on the table. I help run the game but am not the final say in anything, I said I really didnt have an issue with it, but felt that it was up to the home owner to have the final say.
I made sure he declared how much cash he put up on the table(we currently dont have a max buyin, and it hasnt been an isssue until now.)and away we went. I am wondering if you guys have thoughts on this. I know most are probably going to say NO WAY CASH SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE. I felt he would lose more if he did this, which of course happened. |

Was this Daniel Negraneu throwing the 100K bricks around like on HSP?

Re: Cash on the table
lol, No I also see no issue with it. I am trying to figure out why its a big deal or if there is something I am not seeing by allowing this.

Well, I mean I guess maybe it could slow the game down, or make the game a little "messy" mixing bills instead of straight chips. |

Re: Cash on the table
I think the only time this wouldn't be allowed in a home game is in a NL game. Otherwise let it go. IT is much better than having guys 'go light' then trying to calculate a Hi/Lo pot. or having to set up side pots.

Re: Cash on the table
Personally, I don’t have a problem with cash on the table. It’s pretty unambiguous…
On the other hand, if he wanted to use his personal chips (at your house), I might have a problem with that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Seriously, what’s the problem? Once at my usual game, the host bought several rolls of Sacagawea dollars and we played with cash all night. It was kind of fun. |

Re: Cash on the table
We do it at our home games so for me it's quite normal. But if he is the "new guy" in the game he should be prepared to comply with the normal set up of your game, ie no money on the table. When I play in different homes games to my regular one I always play by the house rules.

Re: Cash on the table
Nothing wrong with it, as long as:
- no one starts ratholing - bet verification is made simple (no shorting the pot, please) |

Re: Cash on the table
I guess I'd view it as being part of a 'service' industry. You have a fish at your table who wants to give you all his money. I think you should do anything within reason to accomodate him.
