If i play heads-up at No Limit Texas Hold’em table, and the pot is 1500Eur, what rake should be charged out of this pot?

As strange as it sounds, "it depends" I think is the best answer.

It depends on the house. I just was reading that MGM properties take 10% rake with no jackpot dollar. Others take 10% up to a certain maximum. Others take rake with a jackpot dollar.

So, your 1500Eur pot should have had a 15Eur rake unless the house put a maximum limit on each pot rake.

Changes depending on where you're playing - online there will be a section of the website explaining how rake gets charged (you can usually just Google it, they don't all make that page easy to find). Live just ask one of the floor staff.

Not to derail the thread too much - Oz - Is there ever much of a problem among dealers with calculating rake? Or does that just become second nature after you see thousands of chips fly by you every day?

I guess I just can't do math fast enough in my head to keep up with them - but the practice of taking rake (live) during every street seems like it would be difficult to do accurately.

I don't have to do it in the games I deal (working corporate gigs rather than a casino is good like that) but I gather it just becomes second nature. Remember that most dealers have been trained in games other than poker as well so they'll have had this kind of math drilled into them from their other games.
