Default Re: Taking money off the table.

there is indeed a rule about this. I believe its commonly referred to as table stakes. Basically what you sit with is what you play with. You can add to your stack between hands but you can't take any money off the table until you are done.

If you buy in for the minimum at a table for example and immediately win. So lets say you buy in a 10/20 game for 100 and pick a pot off and you're up to 200. It would be unfair to everybody else at the table if you removed the 100 since it would leave you only 100 to lose instead of the 200. Its probably easier to understand in a no-limit situation then a limit situation but it is still applicable to both. Hope that helps....
