| All sites have standard rake % for their cash games, usually with a cap on max rake. This % does vary somewhat from site to site, but should usually be pretty close between them. I don't know the exact % since I only play at PS right now, but their are plenty of places to find what the exact % is. Begin with the site's homepage itself, their TOS, etc. As for rake from tournament games, that does vary too, but $1.10 to $1.20 tournaments are probably the normal range, more toward the lower end of that I would think. I don't know what to make of a tournament with a rake of 50c on the dollar. I've never seen anything anywhere near that expensive, rake-wise. I can't imagine even bothering to play in a tournament such as that. Also the amount of rake in tournaments, in relation to the buy-in amount, usually decreases as the tournamnets get more expensive. What I mean is you'll find $1.20 and $3.40 tournaments where as the cost of the tournamnet goes up the % taken for rake declines. You have to shop around a little bit to find the best tournamnet that fits in your budget and has the lowest rake %. |

| I also noticed on pokerstars (not sure if it is consistant) that it also depended on the format, it was 1.10 for normal, then if it was turbo 1.08 etc. On full tilt with the 5 dollar sngs there is a dollar rake if it is deepstacked. That is about my extent of rake knowledge, lol |

| The worst site I have found for rake is Party poker I was looking at my stats on Sharkscope and to my horror found that in a $3 sit n go the $3 is broken down as $2.40 is paid out and $0.60 is taken as the fee which to me is daylight robbery and by far biggest % rake I have ever found and is the reason I do not play on Party any more |
