The Rake:
The rake is the portion of a pot that goes to the house. The amount is fixed and
gets tagged onto pots that reach a pre-determined size.
The dealer is responsible for the rake in live casinos; a few chips are taken for
the house before the winner of the hand claims the pot.
The same system operates in online poker rooms. Every hand that generates a pot
of $5 or more is raked. It‘s an inversely proportionate ratio meaning that the lower
the limit you play under, the more the rake will affect you.
