ok this is a big question or something. Im playing in a home game with a bunch of guys and bust out second. Im dealin for awhile and a friend mine who has tried to bust out twice but has doubled up twice tells me he needs to leave. I tell him I'll give him $5 for his chips and play for him, taking my $5 (the buy in)and the five i gave him back and givin him the rest, and he could leave. one guy objects saying that isnt fair that i get back in. i am pretty sure this is legal and object but end up just leaving and they check fold the guy till hes out.

am i right that this is legal or was the other guy right?

Nope dude, you were out. Out is out in a freezeout. He can forfieit his chips (take them off the table) and leave, or do what they did and blind him out, but no one else can have them.

edit: BEFORE the tournament starts, I would allow someone to give thier entry to a "horse", but once the first blind is posted the players that are seated are the players in the tournament.
