It seems awfly steep to me, and seems to make small pots pretty pointless. (for example, blind v. blind hands) I don't know whether it's worth participating. Thanks for your help so far guys. |

| re: Home game, .50/1 NL holdem, poker Do they operate a no-flop no drop policy ? ie not raking pots that are taken down pre-flop, if they rake pre-flop then give up this game. Otherwise, there is zero point in ever limping even from the small blind. If the game is reasonably tight then dont play either, this game is only beatable with a table full of stations and maniacs. |

| Rake at Homegames. Cool, sounds like ya mate has aspirations for running his own Casino one day. Despite being highly illegal, I think anyone who runs a home game with a rake, is just trying to unnecesarilly profit from his"so called" friends. Does your mate have any good pyramid schemes about to get off the ground? If so let me know, as I can take the appropriate actions to report his greedy ass, if you can't. |

to be regulated like alcohol sales, gambling venues etc, etc and anything else that stupid people have tried to engage in without proper organisation and completely stuffed the whole thing up. |

If every pot is huge then rake capped at $1 might be OK. But if there's mostly smaller pots then you're just wasting your time. And if they rake pots that are taken down preflop there's pretty much no point raising to steal the blinds, because you're risking say $4 for a 50c profit. Combined with the potential legal issues as well, I'd just look for another game. |

| Wow, I've never had a friend ever even mention collecting a rake in a home game. If they want money for drinks/food, they should ask for it seperately from the game if you would like to consume such goods. One of the good things about having a home game is the absense of rake . . . I'd say it's a no go. |
