High Hand
[This might have been discussed elsewhere, so sorry if I'm asking a redundant question, but I wanted input from some wiser people.]
.25/.50 home game with some vaccinated folks. Obviously everyone drinks during the game, and a couple of players vape to get a little cross-faded. But two weeks ago, the splashiest player got absolutely blacked out. Calling almost all bets on all streets with any two, insisting on re-loading, ultimately nodding off at the table a couple of times during hands he was or wasn't involved in. I usually run the game, and as he deteriorated I felt gross about giving him more money (he was already *buried* for a .25/.50 game) and decided to cut him off. Other people at the table disagreed and said it's his money and if he seems competent enough he should be allowed to keep buying in. While I'm sure that flies at the casino (and I get that he's an adult and can be responsible for his choices), I just felt gross about doing that at a home game, especially one where we want this guy to keep coming and having fun since he's splashy loose action.
Do y'all cut people off if you think they've had enough? If so, how do you make that determination--unilaterally or via group consensus? How many buy-ins would you allow a blackout player?
