Cheap Way To Mark My Chips

[Annorax]

Horse [censored]. 10% to $4 doesn't cover your expenses. 10% to $4 in a home game is highway robbery. If I were invited to join this game, not only would I probably back out when I see the rake in action, I'd seriously consider ratting you out just on principle.

What are your expenses... two or three cases of beer and maybe a couple pizzas every night? Surely that could be covered by a $1 or $2 drop that stops when you've made back your actual costs for the night?

I get the feeling you're using the rake to recoup your losses in this game, when what you really should do is sell off your chips and tables and let someone else who actually cares about the game for reasons other than a 500% return on costs run it for a change. Are your players just stupid, or are they so rich that they truly don't care about $100 leaving the table every hour?
