Nevada and California Rules regarding Table Change buy ins

Ok, here's a question that we are discussing in our poker room.

Let's say the game is 1/2 NL with a $500 cap. Player makes a sick run and runs it up to say $2500, whatever. He then wants to transfer tables to another 1/2 NL game.

There are two options and two ways to look at this.

1) He HAS to bring the full amount $2500. This would put him at an advantage at the table.

2) He can ONLY buy in for the max at the new table, even though it's the same game. This would put him on a fair playing field with everyone else at that table.

3) he has an option???

I personally think it should be #2. Let's say we let him buy in for the full $2500, now he goes all in every hand and gets an advantage over everyone. The arguement for #1 was that now players at the other table have no shot at their money back.

What do you think? And what have you experienced at other casinos. Floorpeople please chime in.

Ok, let's say he doesn't go all in everyhand, but in general with more money, he has an advantage.

MOP is mathematics of poker. Read chapter 12.

the rule at HP is that you may only remove that from your stack if you are moving up in limits.

tables changes to the same limit means you have to bring all the money you won to that table. the only time you can leave one limit and return to it with a smaller buyin is when you leave the table (and limit) for 45 minutes.

Stopped reading why? This game does exist, caesars I believe. Most vegas games are now $300 max. Wynn and binion's no cap. Compared to LA that is very deep, but it's a fact, not a reason to disregard a good post.
