I only have respect for the other proxies, and consider many of them friends. With the % I try to protect from bad experiences that myself and others have had in the past with low ballers. There's a couple well known ones out there. Kenny has a place a couple blocks from the LVH, I used to get rooms in December at the LVH and have made changes for frantic players wanting to make late change with literally 2 mins to spare. Its all about people, personalities and service. Some choose volume, we choose to deal with a certain group and service them to the best of our ability. Besides if you cash you'll be giving your proxy 5% or more if you are a fair person but that's my opinion. Many don't feel $500 on $10,000 or $1000 on $20,000 is unreasonable. Finally proxies CANNOT COLLECT, so if you choose to leave without paying like one disturbing story, you have the ability to do that.
