take the chips off the table and money stays in the prize pool. not even close. [/ QUOTE ] This is how we handle it at our tournaments. Pretty standard, actually.

Re: Player has to leave home tourney: His $$$?
A refund is comepletely unfair to everyone in the tourney. I have never heard of such a thing and hope I never will.
I can't see any action other than playing this like he busted out. You take his buy-in, you take his chips off the table, and you pay him for whatever place he came in when he "busted out". Blinding off his stack to see if he did in fact place in the money would be a very huge concession. This sort of thing makes a good arguement for a pre-determined set of tourney rules to handle these situations.

[/ QUOTE ] Not a concession at all unless there is a rule saying that you are disqualified if you miss more than X hands in a row. He would be allowed to sit there and fold every hand without looking at his cards, which is all that you are doing when you blind him off. Is someone allowed to go take a dump and tell you to fold his hand if he's not back in time? I agree with removing the chips ONLY because it is a home game and the effort of following the procedure in most casinos (of blinding him off) may be too big of a pain in the ass. Either way, agree in advance how this will be handled.

blind off the chips, no refund. Removing chips from play or splitting them up does have its problems. [/ QUOTE ] Splitting the chips would be the last choice I would make.

Re: Player has to leave home tourney: His $$$?
Hi there, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
here's what I found concerning "check-fold" situations in tournaments in Robert's Rules of Poker (SECTION 15 - TOURNAMENTS, p.40/41: VERSION 10): "4. The appropriate starting amount of chips will be placed on the table for each paid entrant at the beginning of the event, whether the person is present or not. 5. If a paid entrant is absent at the start of an event, at some point an effort will be made to locate and contact the player. If the player requests the chips be left in place until arrival, the request will be honored. If the player is unable to be contacted, the chips may be removed from play at the discretion of the director anytime after a new betting level is begun or a half-hour has elapsed, whichever occurs first . 6. A starting stack of chips may be placed in a seat to accommodate late entrants (so all antes and blinds have been appropriately paid). An unsold seat will have such a stack removed at a time left to the discretion of the director. 7. A no-show or absent player is always dealt a hand . That player’s stack will post chips for blinds and antes , and have the forced lowcard bet put into the pot at stud. [...] A player must be present at the table to stop the action by calling “time.” 13. A player must be at the table by the time all players have their complete starting hands in order to have a live hand for that deal. ( The dealer has been instructed to kill the hands of all absent players immediately after dealing each player a starting hand .)" If you don't go by the rules of Robert, any solution will be fine, as long as you and others are ok with it depending on how strict you want it to be managed. I'd prefer the check-fold solution, as stated in RRoP. Besides, he might return wanting to re-enter the game; in this case, you would have done no good in killing his stack [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] remember, anything can happen in poker.
