haha, i love that instead of saying "honestly i think its inappropriate to draw rake to offset expenses", i get responses that sound like they came from people who probably left the bed warm in their parents basement this morning.

first off, yes i get the message; rake at a home game is better left unpursued.

second off, some of the people who have home games out here literally have a picnic table in a garage, use plastic chips with no denominations on them (purchased with 'points' at any one of dozens of lower tier poker site stores ldo), and provide seating that the local AA meetings would have trouble justifying.

dropping 600$ to give people a place they *want* to play poker at, providing snacks, cleaning up their messes at the end of the night etc, certainly warrants having *some* form of reciprocation.

i think the tip jar is the best way to go, thanks.

HOF on so many levels.

So to look at this another way, if you invite people over to drink, eat your snacks and hang around your house you want to collect money for that?
