Rake
The rake is a service fee collected from hands played in real money games according to the rake chart below.
Raked hand
A hand that a) a player participates in (dealt cards) and b) has generated at least $0.01 in rake for that player. The generated rake is calculated as follows: total pot divided by the number of players who have contributed to the pot. This is then allocated as a proportion of the actual money each player contributed to the pot.
