Thanks for the reply Wes, I guess we have to wait for Neil.

When does it stop being a "Home Game" and start being advertising for a club that takes a piece of each pot?
all_aces wroteThe problem with that is that NO games are legally supposed to be raked, so specifying that the Home Games section is to be for NON-raked games is, in a way, acknowledging that there are a lot of illegal raked games happening out there.
I understand the concerns about separating games based on rake, since that could cause problems legally. As a suggestion, "Home Games" could be for games played in a persons home. Me, Zithal, g2, JohnnieH, etc. all host games where we live, in our residence. If somebody hosts a game in a hall, club, or bar, who cares if it's raked or not, it's not a home game. For example, "Lucky Lou" wasn't raked, but it sure wasn't a home game.
If you keep the definition fairly basic, where "Home Game" means "game in your home", it simplifies things (I think). There may still be a few raked games in the Home Games section, but I can live with that, since it would curb 90% of the problem.
