If your game has no rake I suggest raking 50 cents in every 10 or 20 dollar pot. Explain to your friends that the rake is to cover expenses and things like a bank shortage. I run a home game with a larger rake for extra spending money once a week my self. I have only been off a couple times but I never know until after the players are gone and i compare the rake to the extra cash. That way anyone who gets shorted is me.
