At low blind tables people play because they don't have tons of cash. If they let me bet $10,000 I could get everyone to fold every time. That's why I'm thinking they have to have some sort of limit. Otherwise what would stop somebody from going all in with an amount nobody can cover and stealing the pot every time it got to a decent amount. Even if it's just a $300 pot 4 or 5 or those an hour would add up after one night.
This is absolutely wrong. You only play the chips on the table, there is no hidden pocket money. So if I carry a deed of my house to your poker game, I can reraise the 10k bettor with my house??
No see, my thinking was a bit flawed, somebody I know told me, well basically this...
you have let's say $150 in chips in your stack, I have $5,000 in chips. It's on me to bet. I see you have $150 and bet $140, IF you decide to call you will 99% raise me your last $10 and when it comes back to me I push in the other $4,810. This idiot I know somehow had me thinking at a casino if you raise, anyone still in the hand who goes all in to re raise you and is left without chips will have to fold when you re raise their re raise they'll be left chipless. Which sort of made sense to me, but they could just re-buy chips right then probably. I'm not 100% sure if you can re-buy during a hand as I've never seen anyone try to do it at a Casino. So the idea he put in my head sounded well, decent enough any ways. I would think whatever here would be universal, do casinos allow you to re-buy during a hand?
That's assuming a low blind no limit would let you buy in for a shit load (which I doubt) I know if you buy in for $100, at least where I play if you win $400 you can push in $400 on one hand, I don't think they'll let me buy in for a huge amount to start though. And it's also assuming they won't let a person re-buy during the hand, the whole "leave em wit a single $5 then when it's back on you go big" I'm guessing they could in fact re-buy, not sure if they could re-buy for $50 and go in against the $4,810. If they can re-buy and don't have to match my stack it's pointless and they would call probably 5/5 times if they called the initial $500 bet and could re-buy a low amount and do a split pot.
