Re: Home Game Introduces Rake- I have Concerns
[ QUOTE ]
The other issue to take into consideration is who is playing. If you have the same group of 10 guys playing eachtime, eventually the games will get short handed. When this happens, the house will win. 5 guys each with $200 in front of them puts $1000 on the table. Within 5 hours the table will only have $500 and the rest goes to rake. So, optimally, you want there to be lots of players to keep refreshing the chip supply before it gets eaten by the rake.

Although I agree that this is a potential issue, I just want to point out that you severly overstate the problem. Unless the game is incredibly wild with virtually every pot going over thirty dollars, its much more likely they'll take something in the vicinity of $190 off the table in five hours.
