If you're going to cap at $20 I'd expect some topless dealers or something.

The casino does a 10% rake to a max of $5. Home games, imo, should be less. If you did a 5% rake to a max of $10 I think you'll still have more than even.

I know a few people that do teh same home game idea. 1/2, 500 max BI, 10% rake to $5 with free food and booze. The guy still brings home more cash then food/booze he puts out.

also hendo, I don't know if this would work well but you could have no rake and a cover charge if you start to feel the "heat"

Something like $5/hr/person.

Not knowing how it is like there, thought I would ask. Is the legal situation any different than here? ie are they raiding and shutting down raked games?

i have heard of more fundraiser tournaments of them raiding and shutting them down cash home games are harder for them to find i think because it is a usually a common group of people and words spreads at the casino

Hendo...with a 5 buck cap, that is much more reasonable..and honestly...if you are feeding people free booze, I would love to check out the game

Comp..there isn't too much busting of illegal games here these days,(legalities are no different) but, not to say they aren't looking. I haven't heard of any fundraiser busts or cash game busts in a loooong time out here. That being said, I am not in the city..and may not hear everything going on..but I am always on the listen for these things..
