Default Re: home poker cash NL

Has this been an issue in the past or are you just concerned that it might happen?

I've thought about holding a NL cash game and was worried that this might happen. I agree with the earlier poster though that no one is concerned if the player busted out so why should he be concerned when he's up a bunch. I think the issue is more of an etiquette thing and trying to make it rule probably won't go over well. If everyone is good friends, hopefully this isn't an issue. What sort of stakes are we talking $5, $10, $20, $1000? If I tripled up in a high stakes game ($500-$1000 pot), I'd probably be tempted to leave. For $50, I'd rather play more poker.

If this has been a problem, you can simply not invite the person in the future, pass out pamphlets on the etiquette of poker or you could have people annouce how long they can stay barring an emergency or such. The last one might be hard to enforce though.
