what\'s the rule for getting up from the table
In my home game, a player called the big blind and got up to get a drink. When he came back a minute later he was pissed that we folded his hand to a flop bet.
How do casinos handle this? Give player a courtesy one-minute wait, or just auto-fold to the first bet? Thanks!

Usually autofold if not at the table, atleast thats what they do a a casino. For a home game, I would expect the player would be in the same room and I would simple call him back to the table.

If he's in the same room alert him that he's going to be mucked and if he doesn't come over then do it. If he's not in the room it is auto-mucked unless he's told you he'll be right back.

He should only leave the room in hands he folds PF. In a friendly home game I might give him some slack if he folds pre-flop goes into the next room for a beverage and is clearly trying to get back wihout holding up the game. --Zetack

Re: what\'s the rule for getting up from the table
The way I handle it in a casino is this.f the player is nearby I shout hey its your action and give him time to act (assuming he acts verbally or comes right back when I tell him this) If a player gets up and leaves the vicinit would announce him as checking if there has been no bet, but as soon as there is a bet and the action gets around to him I would fold the hand.
