How many orbits can you sit out in limit at party?

At a good table, 4 sitting out. Just curious how long they can sit before they are pulled. Anyone know?

3.

About 2 too many.

One time I sat out at a table and went to McDonalds and came back and still had my seat. I was probably gone 15-20 minutes.

Which is why it should be one orbit and out.

I'm sure the other players at the table appreciated your consideration.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I'd give 2 orbits, but hearing about McDonald's I'm seriously reconsidering.

How can it be a good table with 4 sitting out??

Last I heard, you can sit out for 25 hands. I think that may be extended if there are vacant seats.

I think the rule should be you are out if you miss the blinds twice. Sitting out for any longer than it takes to go to the bathroom or make a sandwich is rude and inconsiderate to the other players at the table and to those on the waiting list. If I figure to be away for more than 5 minutes, I leave the table. There are lots more good tables.
