Re: legality of this type of home game? No rake, but a monthly fee?
A little off topic, but since someone mentioned bar leagues I thought I would mention something I didn't like about one I played in recently in Virginia. There was no drink minimum or anything like that, but players who ordered food got extra chips. It was free entry, but this made it kind of an optional paid add-on. Sounds like this would be illegal under the Texas laws, as all players don't have an equal chance, and a non-player (the bar/restaurant) is profiting from the game. Actually as it is not in a private setting either, I guess it violates all three rules.
