In Southern California you will have a hard time as the Card rooms don’t want you banking as they have lucrative contracts with their 3rd party corporation that they bring in. This is your right as a player but the California Gambling Control Commission is worthless and won’t do a thing about it. So you have to do it at the 25 or so card rooms in the Northern part of the state.

Banking games/Bonus bets with 7% or more edge is great, fuck counting and the 1% when there are other options. The “collection/rake” comes out to about 1% to 1.5% that gets paid to the house for operating the games and suppling the dealers, the rest is yours as long as you can stomach the variance as some bonus bets you are banking can pay many multiples of the original bet to the ploppy. Up to 1000 to 1 on some of these poker variants.


Some of you remember “SmallCapGrowth”? What do you think he did after he could no longer get action down at the BJ tables?

Ok, I probably already said to much.

However, I do love your rants Zenking, do keep at it!
