I think a better question might be why would anyone take the risk of playing a high-stakes game in a private-home when there's a much safer option in the form of a casino available for a pretty low fee (low compard to the stakes they are playing for at least)

Because you have to worry about dealers bitchin on their blogs because you forgot to tip them in a casino game

Don't forget, high stakes players thrive in all the lookey-lous admiring them through the glass. The attention makes them feel special, that or like zoo animals

Wasn't there some Swedish pro (Martin somebody?) who hired a cheat (Russ G?) to rig a hotel room with cameras? The idea was he would get his buddies out of casino to play in his room. The scheme didn't work because they wouldn't leave the casino.

Just so people don't get the wrong impression about Martin de Knijf:

Ken Lennard was the cheater. Martin de Knijf and some others were the victims.

Shuffling and dealing for yourself sucks.
