So rules are optional? When are they enforced? Against whom? Is it enforced the same whether the guy who broke the rule is the big whale or the big reg? Maybe let it slide for the whale but punish the reg?* Max buyin rules protect recs who would otherwise pick up than risk their stack at table stakes (e.g. guy doubles from $500 to $1000 and now covers the effective stack of $700, but he might leave if everyone could then top up to $1000 making him have to risk the whole stack in a single hand).
*Actually in this instance I think it'd be reasonable to punish the reg since he's more likely to have done this intentional/know the rule in the room.
