This reminds me when a friend and I played in a tournament at a casino and were invited to a home game by one of the other players in the tourney.  The home game was on another night and my friend really wanted to go but not alone.  So I came along.  I had a similar experience when I started wondering what was going on because the "house" raked about 1/3 right off the top "for refreshments, etc."  We didn't even ask them for refreshments, and there was enough stuff left to last them for several, several nights into the future.  If I recall correctly, we bought in for $50 and it was tournament style.  As people were eliminated from the tourney then a cash game started up.  As we played we learned that at least half the room were dealers at surrounding casinos or had been at some time.  Also saw quads and 2 straight flushes within an hour.  I was up against a straight flush that hit on the river, after I was all in with the nuts, Ace high flush.  I told my friend not to count on me going to their game again, and my friend agreed it felt set up.  
 
You were lucky getting out with your money.  I strictly play with people I know who are running the games or at casinos now.  There are lots of ways to cheat.  I recently bought and read a book on Card Cheats.  You can get all kinds of info on the internet as well about how people throughout history have cheated at cards.  It's unfortunate and sad that people have to stoop so low.
