The powers-that-be at Canterbury don't want no-limit cash games, and they don't want limits higher than $30/60, because they don't want people to go broke. They can't make money off of broke people.

Table games have a maximum bet of $300 (with $2 in juice). I think that the law is worded such that you can only bet $300 on the turn of a card. Of course, the cap is lifted heads-up....

That never made sense. With no restriction on how many rebuys one can make, how can they say they are preventing someone from going broke?

Wow, a casino that cares [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Sounds like Albert Brooks speech to Gary Marshall in the movie Lost in America [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Who does CP make more money off of--the guy who blows $1000 in one hand of $5/10 no-limit, or the guy who blows $1000 over the course of several hours of $15/30? Of course they're not going to stop people from going broke, but they'd prefer to bleed them slowly.
