The standings had a column headed "Cash out" and it did not hold an amount to pay.
It held the difference against the player's buy-in. Measured on a table where Ann
bought in for $200 and sits behind $340:
PLAYER NET CASH OUT
Ann $0 +$140
She is handed $340. The column called "Cash out" says $140, under a heading that
invites reading it as the payout, at the exact moment somebody is counting money onto
the table. The number a banker's hands actually follow — what the player is holding —
was computed all along and written to the CSV, and never shown on screen.
Three columns now, and they say what they are: Player, Chips, Up/down. Chips is a
plain amount and never signed, because it is a quantity of money to hand over. Up/down
keeps the sign and the colour, because it is a result. The two differ by exactly the
buy-in, which is asserted rather than assumed.
Chips counts what is out in the middle for the hand in progress as still theirs, for
the same reason the up/down figure does: the panel is read mid-hand constantly and a
stack that drops by the size of a bet looks like money going missing.
Net — won less paid in, from the hand log — comes off the screen to make room. It is
the weakest of the three: it only moves when a pot is resolved through the wizard, so
at a table where the dealer settles pots by hand it reads $0 all night beside two
columns that don't, and up/down already answers "how are they doing". It stays in the
CSV export, which loses nothing.
