I know this isn't the forum but no one ever reads the other forum....
Heres my deal... I have an extra property that I bought for a great price and I've turned it into a man cave of sorts... I've go 2-10 person casino style tables with felt, cup holders and really comfortable seats. I also have an octagon style table that I built from scratch that seats 8. I put neoprene instead of felt which is great for spilled drinks and such... I also provide food and drinks. Food is usually pizza, sandwiches, and snack food... Drinks are usually soft drinks and water with the occasional handle of bourbon and beer.... I had a buddy complaining about the rake when we play... He was drunk, so it got a little heated..... Here is my rake...
Tournament: I do not charge a rake at all... We just play it straight up and normally pass the deal.
Cash Games: most of the time we 1/2 blinds but sometimes we play 2/5 blinds.... The cash game always has a dealer.... A lot of the time I deal and the dealer is never in the game.... That's just my personal rule... My rake is 10% of the pot up to $4 max per hand.... Hell I even hook it up... Say we have a $28 hand I only rake $2.... If its a $500 hand I only rake $4.... I make no bones about it... I make it clear there is going to be a rake every cash game... We have at least one big tourney a month where I average 22-25 players and it always breaks into 2 cash games. We also play cash at least one night a week and sometimes 2-3...
I feel like its a pretty good deal for everybody... There is no juice off of any tourneys, I always have food/drinks, I provide a nice place to play and hang out, and I provide a dealer....
is my rake too steep?
Note/Advice: I have a set of personalized chips that I use for Cash play only to keep me safe and the pot right. Don't make the mistake of using the same chips you use in the tourney. Thanks for the help.
