Play online with friends, skip rake

[markshultz]

Hi all,

I'd like to play texas holdem with a friend, then split the money afterwards in person without paying rake.

I keep finding sites where I have to beg for chips, sites where the games are in essence public instead of private. Also I cannot find a single site where I can set the game parameters, e.g. the time after which the blinds are increased.

Please let me know if there's such a thing.

Thanks,
Mark Shultz
