re: OT Poker Players: Hosting a cash game

Bad bleat jackpots are a good way to turn a legal game into an illegal game fast. Cash game rules state you can leave at any time but you can't "go south" or take money off the table.

Blinds should not go up unless the game is too small. That is what makes cash games differ from tournament poker. Also blinds are not paid by cash players who stand up or miss hands. Unless they miss a blind, then they must pay it before receiving a new hand.
