My two roommates and I have recently been playing a lot of smallish buy-in homegames all over town. To this point we've all just chipped in the $20 or $50 a game and our winnings and probably even the initial buy-ins go back in to our pockets. However, now that we are playing 3 to 4 games a week I want to make the poker money separate and organized.

All Three of us are solid players and regularly dominate the homegames we play. Each of us has significant experience playing in larger games, but bills are high here in So cal, so none of us are playing the $2-$5 NL game right now.

I think it might be best for us to pool our resources to ensure we all have poker money and it stays organized. Here is my idea.

We each chip in $200. This should be enough for $20 tournaments that are extremely soft. From that $600 pool we take our buy-ins. If one of us loses, that players next win, they will have to replenish the bankroll for however many buy-ins they are down.

When a player makes a profit, he gets to keep most of it, but puts a certain percentage in to the BR to keep it growing. I'm thinking that maybe the profit split should be around 70 percent for the winning player and 30 percent to grow the BR.

Will this system work? Should the profit split be a different percentage? Thanks for the ideas.
