Re: home blackjack dealer, can i handle variance?
How many players? You say all bets are $5, but what do you really want as a range? $1 to $5, $1 to $10? I had a friendly game many years ago at a table in my house-- and would play seven spots with bets $1 up to $25. Guests came and left as they pleased, and I don't recall ever playing more than 2 hours in a night. Most were not good players. I won in 75%+ games, up/down within $2500.

... that they will all be in the game when you bust. Players will bet max when they're winning, and go back to min after a loss. It's possible (probable) at some point you will bust 5-10 times in sequence -- if your opponents are staying on 12, pay all 7 hands plus doubles/splits etc. at table limit ($25) -- then win one hand, and everyones back to $1. Some of them want to quit. You're stuck $1000-2000. It will happen. Enjoy it, encourage it, and you'll get it back.
