I've heard that in California, the house does not bank the games, but instead the players do. Usually the player that banks the game is a representative from some organization, but I guess regular players also sometimes have opportunities to bank the game and "be the dealer". Since the cardroom itself makes money from the collections fees (50 cents per hand or whatever), the house has little interest in the outcome of the game. Does this mean an AP will not get backed off in CA? I guess the banker rep person is not a cardroom employee and therefore, does not actually have authority to kick you out. On the other hand, if you want to try to profit from banking the games, is the a way to do that for long enough periods of time to make it worthwhile?
