Actually I changed my mind - I'm fine with new people coming in, as long as they don't get starting chips of 10000- they get chips equal to the average of the lowest two people.

[BuJaber]

for what it's worth I'm fine with the 8400 or whatever that number accounts to.

Pretty sure you're fine because we haven't had ten hands yet.

Edit: Also, if we were to allow new players, it makes more sense to take away missed blinds than to do it based on lowest two stacks. If we have a big pot, the people who lose it could be at like 500 and 2000 where after they get knocked out, the lowest remaining could be like 7500 and 8500 so one person could sit and get 1250 and a few hands later someone sits with 8000 and that wouldn't be fair.

[TwoInAMillion]

KMD is correct.

[BuJaber]

Actually yes making a new player pay all missed blinds seems to me the best and fairest way to do it.

[TwoInAMillion]

We only have 2 spots left at the table anyways.

[BuJaber]

Yeah this is the theoritical discussion. It's an interesting issue because it doesn't normally happen. With no rebuys this is more like a tournament structure, and tournaments don't allow new players in.

Another way is maybe to just give them average stack between all remaining players. That way any new player joining joins with the same relative strength at any point.

I play at bar poker tournaments all the time and they let new players in.

But it just depends on if all players can agree on something. If not, we won't let anymore in.

[Kmd4390]

Tournaments always let new players in. Last one I played didn't even seat everyone until the 8th blind level. The poker room had 140 seats, we had 169 players, and they had cash tables open leaving about 100 seats for the tournament. People are always coming in late though. Seems like poker players in general can never show up on time lol.

I'd be against this. Average stack is the same as starting until someone gets knocked out. After that, average stack only goes up. Joining late shouldn't be worth extra chips.

My bar league always let people in until the end of the second blind level. Depending on the dealer, they got a full stack or had a specific number of chips taken that depended on what level they joined at (our starting stack was 5k. Sit with blinds at 100-200, lose 300. Sit at 200-400, lose 600).
