Rake Free Cash Game - Any Interest?

As I know a lot of forum members frequent the same clubs each week (including myself), instead of waste $100+ an hour in rake, just wondering if there is any interest in starting up a weekly $1/$2 or $2/$5 game somewhere in the GTA. Ideally it should not be located at a bar, etc. to avoid any problems with the authorities (no rake, no issues). Is anyone interested in hosting these weekly games? I'm thinking a Friday or Saturday night might be the best option for most players. Any interest??

Comments

  • I've been considering doing a regular rake free cash game, just not sure on a weekly basis, but I would be willing to co host.
  • I am interested in a GTA game. Can't host though.
  • I am interested in playing...cannot host at the moment.
  • I am also interested.

    Fwiw if there are not home venues another option is Hotel party rooms.

    Most go in the range of $100 - $150 per night. I'm sure the players would donate $10 - $15 to play for the night.

    Although I'm not sure if this falls under the "not-quite-legal" category.
  • Not a bad idea, but it might be better to run a game or two first and see how much interest we can get.

    I'll be willing to host the first home cash game, and I'll volunteer to deal as well. Give me a few days to work out the details with the Boss though first.
  • Count me in as well as long as it is not hosted on a Thurs (Ching League), Fri (Home League), Sat (Group League). Any other day is good!

    Exact rules/format would be nice to know as well.

  • I can play, i wont gurantee every week but will participate in most.

    Well, seeing as how Mon, Tue, & Wed aren't good nights for me, I doubt you can make many Micheal ;)

    We can use Roberts for the most part, but I can tweak the league rules to reflect cash game structure easily enough. And I suspect most players know most rules anyway. We can muddle through.
  • If I may, run a bi-weekly (to start) game on the appointed day, self dealt, so that everyone plays. After you figure out the interest level, you can begin to rotate between a couple of locations to ease the burden on any one individual. Just my nickel. The bankroll won't support this for now, but I'd be interested in the not too distant future.
  • I would definitely be interested!
  • I'm interested, but would prefer a location in western GTA, or Oakville, or Mississauga. (Georgetown would be perfect)
    I'd be happy to co-host, as my place is well-equipped for single table quality game.
    My Fridays are committed, but Saturday could be okay, and possibly other days.
    Would be great to have a quality no-rake local game.
    Hope you/we can put this together.
  • Wouldn't mind a rake free game.
    100/hr in rakes? not me, that would mean i actually won a pot. and well that doesn't happen too often

    Did you get a chance to speak with the boss? Any idea when you may want to get this up and running? Looks like some interest.

    Almost forgot about this thread. Let me discuss with the co founder and I'll post here again soon. Does seem to be some decent interest being generated to make it viable to start anyway.
  • I'm interested!!!!
  • I'm interested in the hotel idea...but not self-dealt


    You might consider getting a kid to deal for tips+$5/head. There are lots out there who would be happy to.

    What are you doing on Friday night. I got a room I can host you in :)

    Seriously I can host 1 night a month and would be willing to travel a bit to play in this. I'd be up for it. Plus I can guarantee another 5 locals from here when I host.

    your still up in Bradford? sounds like we might be able to get this up and running by the end of the summer.
  • I see someone else is offering a game on the 23rd...... I'm in vegas that weekenend. I will host a game just after labour day if there is still interest. I may have to round some donkeys to bring here but that's all good.

    And Yes I'm in Bradford but the crown casino is closed and I"ve moved :)

    My girlfriend would deal topless for $20/head plus tips - she has smallish but amazing tits ;)

    sounds good if she has skilz
  • Pretty cheap for $20 for some head. I do not think tits matter in this case.
  • I think there was an attempt to get a game off the ground. I'll be willing to host a September 13 game. Start time 8 pm. BYOB. Snacks etc will be provided. Any interest let me know.
