table charge

[morgan]

Hello. I played my first live no limit holdem game recently, at the Foxwoods. The game was 1/2 with a max 100 dollar buy-in. This game featured a table charge, as opposed to a rake which I'm used to. The charge was $5 every half-hour. This seemed exorbitant. Am I just cheep? What would a reasonable charge be?

Thanks for any input you can give.
