Cash Games and Rake in Colorado Springs
Recently there has been a lot of discussion about cash games in people's homes, and the rake that is taken. Seems every time I send out an invitation to 50 people, at least 10 reply back "Is there a rake?" It's an easy question to answer, since nearly every time the answer is "Yes". So what are rakes, and why are they taken? Well, to begin with the invitation nearly always says "Food and Drink provided". That doesn't mean there's bread and water there, it means there's a meal and any drink you may want. If you arrive and there are 11 types of soda, but you like Tab, the host will run to the store and buy you some Tab. If you drink Hennessy, I can assure you there's either already a bottle waiting for you, or there will be before you can get your cup of ice and mixer prepared. Hennessy is $72 a bottle. And that's just one drink for one person. Wait, you drink Johnny Walker Black? That's $43 a bottle
