I am playing some PLO to clear the paradise superbowl bonus and when this came up. I am sitting at a table, we have a 5 way all-in. The big stack wins and 4 people all leave at once, 2 other people click sit out so now it is 4 handed. I leave the table. About 10 min later, the talble is almost full again so I try to rejoin the table. It gives me an error saying that I left the table with more than a full buy in so I have to wait another 20 min before I can sit down again. What a stupid rule, wouldnt it make more sense to make me buyin for the amount of chips I left with?? It sucks its hard to 4 full tables $50 PLO at paradise.

At Martin's they make you buy back in with what you left, if you like big stack poker its actually a plus. This though, is a big minus, I'd complain about it and try and get it changed.

I love big stack poker, a deep stack game always favors a better player. I would have loved to buy in for $100 or whatever I left with. I was doublely annoyed, wanted to have to buy in for the amount I left with. Two players at the table had close to $100 and I had notes on both of them being fish. Plus paradise only had 4 tables even close to full so I was stuck playing only 3 while waiting for my banishment to time out.

I guess one more reason that paradie has taken a huge slide in the last couple years.
