Where can I find lots of action on Pai Gow poker?

Not really Texas Hold'em related but more Pai Gow. As you may know, the edge in Pai Gow comes from being the banker. The problem is, most Pai Gow players don't like playing against other players. The don't mind giving action to the house but the pull their bets back when I take the bank.

What's even more frustrating is when the high roller Asian playing three spots at $300 each pulls his bets back down to one spot, $50 when I take the bank.

I've been to Vegas and it's even worst there as the table minimum is $25 and rarely anyone plays more than $50 a hand.

Anyone know a place where everyone at the table plays against one another when he/she banks? In theory everyone should bank in order to minimize the Casino edge.

Not really Texas Hold'em related but more Pai Gow. As you may know, the fun in Pai Gow comes from being the banker. The problem is, most Pai Gow bum hunters like playing against other players. The don't like giving action to the house but still want me to bet big when they take the bank.

When I play three spots at $300 each and pull my bets back down to one spot, $50 when they take the bank, these white bum hunters get really mad.

I've been to Vegas and it's a bit better there as the table minimum is $25 and rarely anyone plays more than $50 a hand.

Anyone know a place where everyone at the table plays against the dealer when they bank? In theory everyone should play against the dealer in order to minimize bumhunting.
