only the shrewdest of players should get involved with these games. Banking is one way to make money on it, but only under certain circumstances and if you have deep pockets. Other scenarios - if the game is being weakly dealt (i.e. you can exploit the house), or weakly regulated (i.e. you can exploit the banker).
The house edge on these games with the collection fee is worse than 8D 6/5 nDAS H17 "casino" BJ. You shouldn't even dream about playing it.
If you're min bet is $5 and you have a $1 fee, what is the EV for the hand? -20.5%? Even a $10 bet and it's probably around -10.5% And when you hit $100 bets they up the fee usually! Use your brain, don't play these.
