Couple of things

Does anybody know how long you can sit out at a cash table before it kicks you off? I didn't want to start a whole thread on this but I couldn't find an answer. 

Also, just a suggestion, I think it'd be good if the mini tonight could be like a £2.20 rebuy or something considering the main is a rebuy. 

Thanks.

    I've never really noticed, but I've assumed it relates to how many big blinds you miss.

    If you miss one, then you have to make it up when you sit back in.  If you miss two (or three), does it remove you?

    I know another site waits for 3 orbits and then it kicks you. Think it's probably something similar here - Dev is probs right with 5 mins.

    It's the number of hands.

    I know it was increased not long back but I can't remember what to.

    Also the question regarding making the mini a rebuy was answered a while back aswell.

    Pretty sure they said seeing as it's a low budget MTT they wanted to keep the costs down with no rebuys.

    I think it gives you much longer if you sit out when you got no cash on the table

    CHANGES - Cash Table Sit-Out Period

    This has been changed, it is now FIFTEEN hands.

    Why?

    Many of the regular grinders found that on long sessions, if they needed a quick convenience break, or go make a cup of tea, found themselves "thrown off" the Table mid-session, & their Seat gets taken by next on the Waiting List.

    There are pros & cons to this, & it needed careful thought, but on balance, it is believed to be the correct decision.
