At our game we normally play table stakes only. But when a pot is heads up we allow folks to go into their pockets if BOTH players agree. It is very rare.
We have PLO in our rotation. If this situation would arrise , as host I would remind both of them that it is pot limit normally , BUT if both players want to drop that limit and play for stacks for that hand only, it is allowed. This is also very rare.
A " proper rule " in a home game is whatever the crew agrees is proper without any pressure. In our case , BOTH players must agree to play outside of pot limit restrictions, just like BOTH players would have to agree to drop table stakes for a hand. I don't see this as a wise move by players personally , but folks should be allowed to **** themselves at will if they BOTH agree to it and no one else is affected by this deviation from the rules.
