ld think that a simp
le timer would be sufficient to deal with this issue. that is, if you sit out and leave a table with more than your original buy in, if you return and start playing again within a set amount of time (let's say 30 minutes) then you MUST rebuy with the same stack size as you just left. if you originally left with less than your original buy in, then you can buy in for any amount up to the table limit.
making them wait for 30 minutes every time to truly rathole could stop the problem. i guess they could still somewhat rathole by starting at another table though and essentially 'saving' their money for the good players on the original table.
