Home game disagreement...thoughts on the correct ruling..

[EMcWilliams]

If a player need to leave before the cashout time, We just find it easier have him throw the extra in the pot. At the end of the night, we count out our chip totals to the nearest dollar, and any loose change that is left we throw into a pot which all players are eligble. Thsi is how we decide what to do with extra money in the pot.
