Default Re: Do most home tourneys take a small cut for food/bev costs?

It's merely semantics...

However it is an alternative if you don't want to *increase* the "price of admission"

Yeah, and $299.99 is cheaper than $300 also.

I think there is an inherent cost to hosting a home game. Plus the down side of the clean up and being stuck with a bunch of people in your house for the whole night even if you get knock out the first hand.

So I agree with Lottery Larry "$5 is pretty reasonable. Anyone who bitches about it ("But I don't eat/drink THAT!") can drive to their nearest casino and pay the rake, the damn cheapskates."

Time planning + Clean up + poker supplies + inherent cost + inconvenience = $5 (sounds more than fair)

i dont like collecting $ for food. Next saturday i'm playing in a 30 man tourney, $80 buyin. To my shock, only $60 of that $80 is going towards the prize pool. $10 per entry is going towards food/keg. $10 is going for "prizes" (dvds and such for none itm finishes.

I truly do not believe the host is pocketing money but this is just ridiculous. I played in this tourney a few months ago (no money taken out for prize/food) and won so that's really why i'm playing it again. That and i dont have a lot of exposure to "bigger" tourneys like this often.
