When you're in a cash game, and you sit out, how long till it boots you? Thanks.

Actually they don't calculate by 3BBs, but by a number hands which unless it has been changed is 35. This really sucks hard in slower games like PLO where they can effectively sit out easily for a half hour, including when the dumasses just take a seat and never play a hand. It should in fact be determined by a reasonable number of BBs missed, and should be less in PLO and maybe PLHE as well, although those games move faster since there aren't as many multiway pots as in PLO.

FWIW, I have been berating people that repeatedly sit at tables and don't play. I have also sent emails to PP saying they are datamining (yes, I know party made it harder but there are still tools out there). I'll only send an email if I see people do it all the time.
