yeah...i know

lol

i played in them for a couple of years, but after taking a break, the loss of value these games present especially when some dealers are instructed to take as much as possible (sometimes over 10+) it's just not appealing.

I know getting into a friendly home game will be difficult, as these aren't usually things strangers are invited too. So i figured i'd look on 2+2, as there is at least a sense of community.

I have a feeling we might have played in the same game, I have heard the same thing about the dealers from many many different people.

My bro and I are putting together a deep .50 and/or 1.00 HA home game. PM me if you're interested.

Never played there. I knew about the tourneys there, but never actually played in any of them.

Friends tell me there are a bunch of 'em, if you don't know many locals (or work with poker fans), just go hang out at a sports bar that's showing a poker TV show and you'll find connections to games.

do the players ever question the dealers? How do the dealers respond?

once a saturation point is reached nothing will kill a raked game quicker than a bunch of pissed off players spreading info on how bad the rake is (putting other rooms on notice to be more reasonable).

Sorry, getting off track from OP, but I thought it was good info.
