Default One way to think about it...

Think of a sink with a slow drain(rake) at the bottom with mini catchbasins on the side that leak back into the main sink .

All those hands you used to play, figure they were neutral EV at best. So you see the others dragging pots with those hands. They are trading pots back and forth, really not making anything. Basically swirling water in the sink while some of it goes down the drain and the water displaces itself to another catchbasin soon to be released back into the sink likely to be swirled over to another shallow catchbasin. This represents every hand. All the water they take to their side of the sink will be coming back and going into another loosey's side of the sink. Some will go down the drain. But it will still be pretty much part of the water in the sink while they stay in the game.

Then you come in with a ladel, scoop out some and put it into a seperate bowl away from the sink. The water dripping off the ladel are your blinds.

That, or your catchbasin has a very high wall with a very small leak(blinds).

So you just let them swirl the tank. Then every now and then come in to take your cut.

Have fun...
