PLAWRENCE-I RESPECT your theory on these games
and agree to some point as to your basic
explanation,but I have never had the house
take a % of the pot,for one there is not enough
money involved for the house to make it worth
while,no2 I know this was an example but
you never sit a group of 8 people down at
a game of 7 card,8times7 is 56,not enough
cards in the deck.
WE have a place in little italy or MURRAY-HILL
as the old timers call-it,where the local
family underboss runs a place called the
card shop,its been going on for 35 years,
its 50$ to sit down on the weekdays and
350$ on the weekends,if a player loses the
next puts down his 50 or 350 and sits in,
there could be 3 games going at once,easily
this house walks out a 2500 to 3000 ahead
on a friday night.With much respect to you I
have only seen games run like this,this is
what I know.
