      There really shouldn't be a cap but some casinos/clubs put caps in place so its generally dependant on where you play.

        Also depends on the game that's going at the time.
        You need to be allowed to buy in for at least what the biggest stack has.

            I was advised to always buy into the 1/2 games in the Fitz for 5k back in the day when those games weren't very big as an anti tilt measure - you would notice your stack going from 200 to 25 far more than you would notice taking a hit from 5k to 4,825.

            As a player I would say uncapped. As a rake collector I would say max buyin of 20bbs or so. Middle ground of a couple of hundred bb is fair enough.

                  Mainly pot limit around here which has the same effect. Shouldn't be up to the card room to protect bad players from being pushed around though.

                      30 100 notes would have been more impressive I think

                          i always thought as a rule you could buy in for 200bbs max not 1500bbs....

                                      I remember playing a 1/2 Omaha game in the Fitz years ago and flipper came in and sat into the game for something like 5k which I thought was hilarious. He was obviously waiting for the bigger game to have a seat, but still a bit overkill where the max stack was about 500 at the time.

                                      He did a well on boards shortly afterwards, and as I had posted somewhere on boards about the above calling him a bit of a billy big balls (or whatever) he answered me when asked who on boards would he ban if he could. I lol'd out loud.

                                        A couple of years ago I got an open seat in a 1/2/optional 5 game at the PCA and without asking the buyin I just put the 2k in chips that I'd got at the cash desk on the table.
                                        I think I folded my first few hands but picked up AA first to act a couple of hands in and made it 20, by the time it got back to me it'd been raised another 3 times including a shove for circa 1500 after a bet of 400 from a guy who covered me.
                                        I shoved and when it got back to the 400 guy he asked for a ruling as seemingly the max buyin was 1000. The ruling made was that I could shove for the 2k as my over buyin was not picked up originally, I'm not sure what would have happened if this was my first hand?
                                        Also I'm not sure if this was the correct ruling?

                                          Presumably you could win a few hands during the course of a night, if your stack went above 1k I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to shove for over the max buy in amount, so the max buy in rule is negated in your case above?

                                          Wasn't it Daniel Negreanu that bought in for $1 mirrion on HSP?
                                          Altho fairly sure that wasn't 1/2/5.

                                            Weird the way other players never realise these things until it directly affects them in the middle of a hand.

                                              Yeah funny that.

                                              I think no limit games should have a max buyin, simply to protect the house from having their game busted by maniacs with deep pockets.

                                                Probably used all the proceeds he angled out of the Omaha flips games we used to play when he'd fold with the big stack/shit hand!
