Btw, this is the problem with the term home game. It can mean a game organized among friends or it can mean an illegal gambling operation. They are different IMO.
Only the best home games
You're right that there's a big difference between what you'll find in a home game. Most of the ones I frequent are mostly poker friend based. There's a couple of guys that run games and invite their friends and a pool of other players they're friendly with. All of them have dedicated dealers (even if that's the host). Depending on who shows up on a given night, it might be 5-6 of us bull****ing and playing mixed games along with our normal $1/2. Or it might be more like a typical casino table with 9-10 guys playing more "seriously", while still drinking and relaxing.
The "entertainment" usually happens when there are non-players around and it's more of a party atmosphere (college football is good for this). Maybe it's the friends that I have that sometimes we pay a girl to waitress, that may be an 'off duty' stripper, or just a girl that likes drinking and fun.
That's wandering off topic a bit, but it gets back to my thinking that there's a lot more session to session variability in game conditions, along with resulting EV.

I exported a csv from my Poker Income app. This includes some non-session data like player notes and whatnot, so I isolate the sessions at the beginning of the script. Everything else should be self-explanatory.
Yup. Totally easy to follow. /s
Are you manually filtering the game types? Seems like it should be possible to do that automatically. It's what I do in Matlab when I run my data. (Along with breaking down locations and other things).
