An interesting way to play a home game is this.
Everyone places an equal bet.You rotate who goes first,like in a poker tourney.Everyone plays a player hand but someone also deals the dealers hand,using standard rules.If the dealer beats you,you are eliminated. No doubles,no splits.Last player left wins the pot.There is no house edge,no real advantage for anyone except by position.
Its fast paced,with a good bit of money changing hands but in the long run,most people will not get badly hurt. With 5 players betting $5 each,the pot is $25 and should be won in no more than four hands,on average.
