2-5 : uncapped
5-10 : uncapped
^ Why is this a problem?
Because if you're sitting there with 2 BI and the table fish has luckboxed his way to a 5 BI stack, and the guy to your immediate left (or sitting between you and the whale) tops up to 4 BI's, scooping most of the fish's stack on the very next hand with a set vs the standard two napkins those filthy rich Baccarat whales play, you wouldn't be too happy now would you?
Even less so if you happen to cooler the fish on the next hand but he only had <1 BI in front of him this time.
Uncapped buy-in's also render the newbie tourists broke/disinterested much faster than a 100 BB limit, leaving the game infested with a higher reg to rec ratio.
