Disposition of chips for leaving/absent player?
February 18, 2008 by drneau.
I’ve always been of the opinion that if a paying player has failed to show for a tournament or has to leave during the middle of a tournament, then that player’s chips should remain on the table and that player should be blinded out.
I’m fully aware that many tournaments subscribe to the “if they aren’t coming back, then remove their chips” method. My question: Why?
Why not leave their chips on the table, let them be blinded out and finish where they finish when their chips run out?
My opinion: If you remove their chips, then they should get their buy-in back.
Thoughts?
