In my mind, the next step regarding location is a shared space with public access (ie, not a home), to which several trusted people have keys. That way we can run games and rotate who's there to babysit. House fees would of course go to compensate the person. And the space would be paid for in cash with no paper trail, and no records on the premises.

Regarding the game, of course we'll be at 1/2 eventually, but we just started with .5/1. I figure at 1/2 we can experiment with having a dealer or two work for tips (and free imbibition). But for that to work, we need more turnover, so it'll have to wait for the bigger space with better security.

I'll also have a small kitchen for finger foods.

This is, of course, all hypothetical. A "what if I lived somewhere where this was totally legal, so don't worry about talking about it" kind of thought experiment.
