Again, this is the key, that all of the players know what they are paying for and that they know that they're not getting it stuck to them.

A host of a game should be just that, a host, not someone looking to have others pay for their poker by over charging a rake.

I have had as many as 28 players in my home at once. Everything goes smooth when everyone has a trust that there is a honest game in progress, there are rules in place in the event someone gets out of line and the implimentation of the rules is fair and just.

The quickest way to divide the group is to let on that either someone is cheating or the house is profiting from the rake in a game advertised as a "freindly game". Been there--done that.
