Managing Your Poker Money
Online - The Rake:
We do know of one way that the online world
is identical to the vegas casino poker room
: the way they make money, namely through
the rake. The rake is a small percentage
of every pot that the poker sites take (usually
5%, but sometimes as high as 10%). They typically
cap the rake at $3.
The rake is
a good moneymaking mechanism for the house,
because losers don’t
care where their money goes, and a winner
doesn’t mind scooping a $97 pot rather
than one worth $100. But the erosion is real
and unavoidable.
For tournaments, sites charge a registration
fee, usually 10% of the tournament buy-in,
that goes directly to the site. A $10 single-table
tournament costs you $11.
A few sites
have a no-flop, no-drop policy. If the
site’s Hold ‘Em or Omaha
players never see a flop, it doesn’t
take a rake. Other sites don’t rake
any pot less that one dollar, which is nice
for the micro-limit games. To find out about
a site’s rake rules, look at the help
or about section of the Web site. You don’t
have a way to reduce the rakes directly,
but by taking advantage of sign-up
bonuses,
you can certainly help reduce their string.
