Is it ok for one player to buy chips from another player during a poker game?
We have a weekly poker game, just family and friends, nothing professional. Everyone buys in by buying chips with $20 in cash which is kept in the bank until everyone cashes in their chips at the end of the game. One player runs out of chips during the game and buys chips from another player. The seller puts the money in his pocket but the buyer then bets with those chips. It seems to me that there is no cash backing up those bets if the money is already in the sellers pocket. Am I right or wrong?
The other player should buy the chips from the bank at first. It is ok to buy chips from other players, but that money needs to stay on the table and is considered in play especially if it is a no limit game.
You are right. The cash should always go into the bank. The bank gives out the chips, not another player. There is cash backing up those bets, but it’s a guarantee the seller is keeping it. Everyone at the table should have a chance to win that money too.

If a player has say $50 in front of him and sells $20 to the busted player, now he has $30, which he can cash out at the end of the night. The $20 from the busted player should go to the player who sold the chips, not the bank. Of course, players should only buy chips from the bank unless you run out of chips, in which case the $20 cash needs to remain on the table, in play until the game is over.
