Just not sure who would be selling the chips if one could "accidentally" buyin for more than the allowed amount. Do you just put money in a pot and pull out chips yourselves (it could be)?
With the pandemic, playing online now using pokerrr set up...players log in, and then choose buy in. This particular player, OMC, who never buys in for more than the minimum, accidentally bought in for 800 and couldn't figure out how to reverse it.
During our prepandemic home game, we would allow players to buy in for 200 or 300 as the evening progressed and by the end of the evening there could easily be $4000+ on the table...people have won in excess of 2K...lots of drinking, and lots of really loose play.
BTW, in this situation, player won a $1000 with pocket kings against a flopped ace...opponent, who would almost never bluff here, kept firing and player hit a King on the river! That's the kind of game it is.
