you DON'T decide... they do. [/ QUOTE ] Players should be allowed to come and go as they please. You don't get mad at online players that play for five minutes and then leave do you?

[/ QUOTE ] I don't have an unlimited pool of players in my home game, so of course I care if they play for 5 minutes. If I plan on a single table game and get 10 people to come, I expect to have 10 people for a good portion of the night. If someone has to leave early, they usually tell me before they arrive (we plan via mass email, so everyone knows who is coming/etc). If someone gets tired/scared of the game, we ask they give one orbit's warning before leaving, which makes hit-and-run less impolite. People get upset by "thanks for the money, I'm out", even if the person leaving is a long-term donater. It's the job of the host to create a game that people want to play, and uninviting someone who does this more than once is a policy my players agree with fully. -curtis

Re: home cash game question
Players should be allowed to come and go as they please... there shouldn't be a "preset" ending time. My home game typically starts around 8pm and has been known to run till 8am at times... depending on who's playing.
HOWEVER, IF you must have the game end at a certain time... then make it known as the night starts. Going up big, then announcing the game ends in 30 minutes or an hour is lame. If you start at 8pm and need to be in bed by midnight then make it known that the last hand is dealt at 11:45 by a certain clock in the room so there are no surprises.

Thanks for the help [/ QUOTE ] Usually it's bad form to have a "earliest cash out time" however if you really think someone is going to hit and run you should do the following: 1.) Require that players are in the game at least an hour 2.) Remove the hit-and-run offender from your invite list

Re: home cash game question
We ask players to just let us know as a heads up about an hour before they think they have to go. Pretty much everyone does so everytime and its no problem
I would not suggest un-inviting a losing player for hitting and running, unless he is influencing others to do the same
