Taking A Rake In Poker
Poker Table Rake. The rake is defined below for each game which we spread. We do not charge rake if the hand ends on the first betting round (before the flop in Hold’em or Omaha, before Fourth Street in Stud variants, or before the Draw in Draw variants). The HORSE mixed game includes only Limit games in the rotation, and therefore will be. It might be the most obscene four-letter word in poker. Tilt can be controlled. Leaks can be plugged. Thank you for discussing this. The rake is the most overlooked topic in poker. Most poker celebrities don't like to talk about the rake. I think for 2 reasons. There scared of upsetting the.
As compensation for hosting online Poker games, we take what’s known as ‘rake’ from each pot. We have a “no flop, no drop” policy. The rake is defined in the following chart:

| $20/$40 to $100/$200 | 1% / $1 | 1% / $2 | 1% / $3 |
No Limit and Pot Limit
| Stakes | Rake per pot | 2 Player Cap | 3 Player Cap | 4 Player Cap | 5 to 9 Player Cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Stakes Up to and including $1/2 | $0.01 for each $0.20 in Pot | $0.50 | $1.00 | $2.00 | $3.00 |
| Stakes $2/4, $3/6 and $4/8 | $0.05 for each $1 in Pot | $1.00 | $1.50 | $2.00 | $3.00 |
| Stakes $5/$10 and Greater | $0.25 for each $5 in Pot | $1.25 | $1.75 | $2.25 | $3.00 |
For No Limit and Pot Limit, the house charges a commission or “rake” as a percentage of the total pot won at the end of each hand. The “rake” is calculated based on the number of players in the hand, and the size of the pot. The commission (rake) is 5% and capped at a maximum of $3.
Understanding Rake Calculation
We want to make sure your online poker experience is fair. That doesn’t just mean the best security and the fastest cashouts. It also means calculating rake the right way. So rather than relying on one poker rake calculation, we use various types to calculate bonuses and determine your status in our loyalty program.
Weighted Contributed Rake Calculation
With the Weighted Contributed Rake Calculation, players earn more credit based on how much rake they contribute to a pot. So a player who sticks it out until the end of the hand and contributes $2 in rake to a pot will earn more credit towards their bonus release than a player who only contributed $0.25. Players who fold without putting in even the blinds share no credit at all as they didn’t contribute to the rake.
The big advantage of the Weighted Contributed Rake Method is that players earn bonuses faster at Poker King. That’s because when a customer plays more hands and contribute more to each pot, he’ll earn more points.
*We use the Weighted Contributed Rake Method to calculate the release of bonuses and to calculate the Rank Points you earn as part of our Elite Benefits Program.
Dealt Rake Calculation
With the Dealt Rake Calculation, every player dealt into the hand gets equal credit. It makes no difference if they play the hand or not or how much they contributed. So, if you received cards and you fold before the flop, you’ll still earn the same number of points as players who played it until the river, even if you didn’t contribute to the pot.
*We don’t use the Dealt Rake Method at Poker King to calculate points.
Contributed Rake Calculation
In this calculation, players earn equal credit regardless of how much they contributed to the pot. But players who fold without posting a blind aren’t eligible to earn credits.

What Is Taking A Rake In Poker Game
For once, this is a blog series that it’s ok if you missed the first part. In the first segment, I covered running your own home game poker tournament and how to do it successfully. Honestly,there is probably a lot of crossover between running a tournament and a cash game, so maybe I’ll retract my first statement and recommend you read Part One first. I promise you it’s a good read🙂
What I’d like to cover today is running your own home poker game, specifically a cash game. Just to make sure that we are all on the same page, a cash game is a poker game where people buy-in fora certain amount of money and are able to cash out and leave at any point in time. The opposite of this would be a tournament where there is an entry fee, and players play until someone has allof the chips. I know you probably already knew this, but you can never be too careful on the internet these days. I have had several people think that a cash game referred to any poker thatinvolves real money regardless of structure.
Now that we’re all on the same page, I do want to drop the same disclaimer that I dropped in the first article. Running your own home poker game may or may not be legal depending on where youlive. I highly recommend doing some research and making sure that what you’re doing isn’t going to end with you in handcuffs. This is ESPECIALLY true if you are going to be running a game forprofit which I will get into in a minute.
