Default Re: Unethical behavior at the table-- how do you handle it?

It's not as big a deal as you fear, to tell the guy he has to leave the money on the table and solicit the dealer's or floor's enforcement of the rule. I have done it multiple times over the years. It's a good rule that the money has to stay in play and on the table.

The other rule is horrible though, IMO. Not being able to add to your stack unless you are below $40 is just plain stupid, and hurts the game. Why is it stupid? Because the max buy-in is set at $100. Therefore you should be able to add to your stack at any time in order to bring it up to $100. Otherwise it is a max buy-in of $100 but only on your first buy. After that it is a max buy-in of $60, and only when you are below $40. Does that make any sense at all? The idea of a max buy-in is to limit how much you can have on the table without having won more to boost your stake. If that amount is determined to be 100 there is no reason it should later drop to a lower figure. What this rule basically does is screw the people who get slightly stuck.
