This would also mean players can pass chips between eachother so couples could swap chips. If i prefer to play short stack and my buddy has the table covered i could in theory give him my excess, "locking them up, taking them out of play" as he has the table covered.
my buddy and i each sit at a new table we each buy in for 300, i pass him my 300, rebuy 300, pass him my 300, i rebuy 60, so he has 900 and whole table covered effectively he his only playing 300 cos that is next largest stack and i short stack.... I dble up to 120 just ship him the 60 to lock it up and go on short stacking. Basically they allow ratholing and some forms of collusion.
