Dilemma from last nights home game...

[James Boston]

It's an interesting dilemma, but it could be worse. My home game is at a fraternity house (i.e. neutral ground), so there really is no banker to take repsonsibilty. It's a game among friends, so mistakes are difficult to deal with without making accusations. When I guy buys in, he takes the box, counts his own chips, and puts his money in. I know this sounds idiotic, but usually it works. However, when there is a mistake we can't just say, "banker eats it." It takes forever to deal with.

This is a huge mistake and will eventually cause problems. Somebody needs to be the banker. It's not so much a trust issue as it is an honest (drunken?) mistake issue.
