Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
if a player leaves a poker table, or is booted for a time violation, the other players must be allowed to continue playing. This is true IRL whether the game is a cash game or a tournament table. It should also be true when there are only three players left at the table.
However, when I move to boot a player that's out of time, the game tells me that the table will be ended. -

Report history
"You (and eventually all other opponents) will be considered winner(s) of this game, and you'll get (completion %) of ELO points you would have gotten for a normal victory."
Another problem here is that these terms create a distorted incentive for somebody almost broke to boot the slow player. Perhaps ELO should be awarded based on % of total table money held by each player. Those that have a big lead are a lot less likely to want to crash the table.
But problems of perverse incentives are solved if the table is not forced to shut down.
Not to mention, at a cash game a player should be allowed to leave AND to get an ELO based on cash held at time of departure. That would be most like real life.
