I had voted 8 based on the assumption it was a fun home game.

After reading more of Taso's posts, I see he says that everyone takes it seriously.

With that in mind, the only reason it's bad is cause you are the host. If there would be no game without you, you get a 5 for coming across like a greedy host.

If hosting moves around and it's just your turn, then you get 1.

If shortie ($6) is a new player who might just be there for fun and doesn't take it as seriously as the rest of the players you get an 8 for making a new player uncomfortable at a home game you are hosting (if you weren't hosting and did the same thing it would be a 4).
