I didnt read any of the other posts except for yours. And I think you are absolutely correct. And I would have to assume that all the rooms that you have played are legal. In certain states that is not the case. Limits on buy ins become effectively insurance that you can only lose so much. If you were to factor the illeagal factor into your decision to sit down at table ie cops criminals, you would be grateful for a cap on buy ins. At a legitimate casino there is no excuse and i agree with you.

Along with TV poker small restricted buy in NL games have helped attract new players by taking away a lot of the fear. Many of these players have graduated to unrestricted buy in games.

At the Commerce Thursday night I counted four $600 min games with 10-20 blinds, one $2000 min game with 20-40 blinds, three $400 fixed buy in games with 5-10 blinds (I call this restricted buy in on steroids [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), about eight $200 fixed with 3-5 blinds, and perhaps a dozen $100 buy in games with 2-3 blinds.
