CHOP QUESTION

[gordon williams]

Please help,

A few days ago a several of us from my regular home-game decided to play a private game online. The game was .50 and 1.00 but we were paying off privately at 40X chip value.

Here's my question. When the online poker room cut the pot they were taking out .50-.75 out of any pot $5 or more. This amount is $20-30 on our payoff scale. When the game was over I was the only winner of $6.75 which was a win of $270. The combined losers owed roughly $1330. They dont think I should collect the whole amount. My point is what they owe is what they owe. We all know each other and I really dont care about how we do it this time.

Could someone please let me know how we should handle this in the future.
