Casinos suck, even more so over here

I don't like to leave home
Because I can drink and not have to drive. And no rake.

I wonder if OP touched a nerve 
This.
1. The line up is dictated by invite only and is almost always better than any line up you will get in the casino (unless the casino game is an invite only for the initial line up).
2. Plus, the players are able to play up to their net worth instead of what cash they are able to bring to the casino so the action level is much much better. I rarely go to the casino any more unless I am being invited to a semi private game.
3. You can’t even eat at the poker table in a casino anymore. Sucks.
I’ve lost close to a grand in .25/.50 game. I should probably sign up for a training website.
People are friggen animals. I’ve seen dealers have to wipe ketchup off of cards. Keep the food away from the table I say - go take a 20 minute break.
The 1000 BB club!

Cough...cough... I'm pretty sure that would be the "- 2k BB club" lol. I joined the minus 1k BB club a couple weeks ago at a meet up but fought back close to even the next day. The minus 1k BB club should be a badge of Donkey Honor! Lmao
That would probably get expensive at casino stakes.
I think casinos are great for tournaments. You know what the fixed rake is at the beginning, and you only tip at the end if you win. But for cash games? I’d like to see somebody’s math or statistics. I’d think that over a decent session, you’re loosing a full buy-in to rake and tips.

Or was he just trolling?

I believe the Carson Nugget in Carson City also had a hot dog roller next to the soda machines (in the poker room, not on the floor for the masses to sneeze on). Unfortunately, I was not big into taking snapshots back then, so I cannot confirm.I've actually seen a hot dog roller at The Silverado in Deadwood.

I haven't lost that much. I have dropped $600 in .50 game. I've also profited up to $700 in a low stakes game. Its all pennies to @MatB
Well, now I feel like a total degenerate…….

Since that’s like entry level for a casino, that just means I’m cheap. Whether or not you’re a degen - that’s another story. (But you’re here so probably yes)
Hosting, beyond controlling the stakes and rules, aims at playing with people you like, which will never be totally possible, but still better than being seated among strangers.
Also, depending on culture, hosting can be very flattering.

Because scarney and other circus games aren’t spread in any casino
By your own criteria, I suppose you'll have to be in Seat 6 and flirt with him all night.

Somebody needs to make a card capper chip for this. We can buy them and give it out at home games when someone enters the club!

at self-dealt home games, I get to deal my river suck-outs personally to the opponent.
...oh that's just mean!!!
The only negative of a home game I can think of is sometimes there aren't enough players to have a game.
Btw you're always welcome at my game @Highli99!

Just lost $280 at PLO .1/.2. if somebody is giving shit away for losing a thousand bb's, I guess I could use a card capper (and a hug)

Play worse. I have 4 tables and a waiting list.
OP knew what they were doing IMO...
Definitely! Question the need for homegames and/or quality chips and watch PCF go ape shit
