Poker Zombie
Royal Flush
In a cash game when a player is gone from the table for a lengthy period of time, a player can request the seat. The absent player's chips are placed under a clear box and the new player "plays over" their chips.
I've seen the concept in casinos, but have never done it. I know it would be very uncommon in a home game as you don't tend to invite more players than you have seats. So my question is, has anyone done this? I've done a quick web search, but could not find actual rules that would apply if/when the player returns, or how long a player must be missing before they allow playing over.
Can anyone enlighten me on this? Either actual casino rules or home-game variations are welcome.
