Re: Cheap Way To Mark My Chips

I do make a profit from the game. This game sort of evolved out of a home game that was self dealt and rotated locations. It seemed worth it to everyone to pay a rake and not have to deal with stupid stuff that oftens accompanies a self dealt game. I was a solid winning player in that game (which was uber soft) and none of the orginal players had a problem with the rake structure. The game still maintains the a friendly atmosphere and no one really notices the rake, it would seem. But your right. There is a profit turned on the game. But hey, I just bought a new house and need all the help I can get.
On slow nights we cut the rake in half and I deal and play at the sametime. When its just the regular this has never been a problem. But when new players show, I never play until they seem ok with it. And whenever I play I cut the rake in 1/2.

Well, that's semi-decent of you, but don't try that "10% is for expenses" line again... you profit from two sources in that game.
Sounds as if your regulars don't mind and/or your underground card room gives them enough value for the money.
Good luck
