5% commission BJ

I want to know your opinion about 5% commission. Since this is basically an even money proposition without the commission, the 5% commission is the house edge.

Let me explain: I bet you a dollar for flipping a quarter. You lose a dollar if it comes up heads, but you win 95 cents if it comes up tails.

My friends generally like to play Pai Gow in Vegas, because then they can bet table minimums and drink all night long.

Betto,
This is incorrect. House edge for PGP is typically 2.73% when the player is always forced to be player, as opposed to banker.

Basically, the reason is that about 40% of hands tie, in which case no commission is paid.
