Well, a "charging players" thread, anyway.

No, it's a "sharing the expenses" discussion.

I'm thinking of $2 off the top for those who buy-in to the $40 game, $5 off the top of the $100 game. Additionally, anyone who leaves with more than $200 kicks in another $5. Anyone who moves up games pays the additional $3.

Why? It's not profit sharing, it's a shared expense. Everyone (INCLUDING you) should pay the same amount.

and a stocked bar of hooch/soda. BYOB, but I have coolers and ice. Plenty of weed floating around.

This is where you're steering towards trouble. You do not want to end up on the wrong side of your state liquor board, or the DEA (local or otherwise)

How does this seem to people? I'd really like to charge the least amount that reasonably does what I need it to do.
[/ QUOTE ]
"need it to do" needs more clearly defined. You might want to re-examine whether "want" means "need"

Now you're veering off into the underground cardroom weeds again.... not my recommendation.
The semi-private club idea was a bit intriguing, but can you limit access to just poker nights? Will the neighbors in the location's area have problems? What about security?

can't just ask for money to cover the night's expenses, because I'm looking beyond that. There is economy in scale. I buy liquor by the case. And expenses fluctuate. Could be a new table one week, chairs the next, replacement cards, lighting fixtures, artwork, pinball machines, movie screen, etc.

We had a similar thread about half a year ago, I think, where many argued against the willingness to pay for a palace that they don't get to keep as their own.
How high is this nightly expense fee going to be, to cover all of that?
