Need Rebuy Guidelines For a Ring Game

[nowags]

Reloading online, or even in a casino, is WAAAY easier than reloading in a home game.

Online, it doesnt slow down play at all. Click a mouse, and you have more chips. the other guys at the table might not even notice if they arent looking that closely at your dollar amount. Casinos have chip runners, and impact on the game is minimal.

In a home game everything comes to a grinding halt when someone needs more chips. The guy who's banking needs to get the chip case, count out, etc. and everyone waits while this goes on. I've been to lots of different home games, and even with the very well run ones, this is the case. It gets worse when you're playing with n00bs.

So... There's nothing wrong with topping off, but having a rule in place to limit when you can rebuy would help the game run a lot smoother. I'd get pretty pissed at the guy who kept topping off, because we would probably be waiting on him for the game to keep going.
