I have a friend who goes to a home/private poker game with $100 buy-ins. They play hold ‘em, tournament style, and the host provides free booze and snacks. What’s in it for him? I can’t for the life of me figure out why he’d want to continue doing it. He doesn’t charge a fee or rake the pot or anything. Thanks for your answers!

In a lot of places like here in Texas a no-rake poker game is the only legal kind, so by not charging a rake he doesn’t have to deal with the stress of having the police bust the game or getting arrested.
He might run the game because he loves poker and has nowhere to play or he might be such a good player that he usually wins more in the game then he spends on booze and snacks.
I know once in a while I have people over for poker and I provide drinks and snacks because it’s fun and a lot cheaper than going to a club or a fancy restaurant. Plus on a lot of those nights I win enough money to pay for all the food and then some!
hes doing it for the love of the game to enjoy himself i mean is that so bad really?!!
