Well after reading a lot of different post on this site It seems that a lot of house games have little or no rake at all. Where Im from players look forwaed to being the house guy so they can rake the pot. Just about every place I go the guy who does the rake would take 10% of each winning pot. The crazy thing about it is that whoever rakes can never go all in. Obviously there are many problems to these rule ( As I have learn from looking at post on cardschat). For instance If I go to a house game all I should have to do is wait until I get the house man in a good part and bet 1000 ( something I know he cant cover ) and he would have to fold. I express that fact to this group of players before but it seems like they are not willing to let this style go. The people who rake 10% do give a rake back of 15 dollars to each player once they go broke. I think I can be the one to actually get poker going the right way here. I build and sale poker tables ( which many places we play on kitchen tables) I don't mind just having games for mainly the play style. Meaning if I rake I would probably just do 2 dollars a pot , just to cover for the unlimited food and drinks. Also unlike many places we play at I would do things right ( such as big blind and small blinds). Any advice would be helpful...A young guy just trying to play REAL POKER!
