Ideal parameters for dinner list / time allowed away from table? - Page 3 - Poker Card Room

By "dinner list", we are talking about someone picking up their chips, allowing someone else to take their seat, but then being put back on top of the wait list when they return. This is a great rule and I see no reason why the dinner break needs to be limited by time or number of times used.

We are -not- talking about leaving your chips at the table and taking up an empty seat for an hour. Some casinos allow this, or are lax in enforcing picking up absent stacks, and I hate this. It is most frustrating when you have been second on the wait list for a game for an hour while there have been four absent stacks away from the table the whole time.

IF no time restriction then every player should always go on the dinner list when they leave so that the next time they come in they can jump the list.the exception being players who want to short stack.

Nope, still doing it, at least at the 20 game.

For those wondering, Commerce has 2 sided missed blind buttons to keep track, as such:

Once the button passes you the second time, a floor comes over and puts $5 from your stack into the pot. Every time the button passes you again you lose another $5.
