I have hosted a friday night low stakes, .25-.50 mixed cash game for years. We have less players than you ( less cars)! No rake, only donations of chips, candy, beer, or sodas for everyone is allowed. Kentucky law on "friendly " home games is very clear. No profit for the host except what he can win in the game. Police do not bother these events. Most places in the State they don't bother small rake games either. So find out what your State laws are and follow them as close as you can. Dr. Stange has made a lot of very good points that I agreee totally with. He knows what he is talking about.
