Re: Arguments for table stakes?
You have to use table stakes, IMO. Like the other posters have said, you have to protect people that have gone all-in *and* you have to protect the other player from the angle of "Oh, now I have a flush so I'll get another $20 out of my pocket".
In addition, at our game cash does play when we're playing limit, but not when we play NL, you have to chip it up. I instituted this rule because we had some angle-shooters saying "I'm ALL IN!" (usually with TV drama included no charge) and then fold their arms across the $40 in cash they have tucked into the rail. Now, chip it or it doesn't play.
