Because of rake.... rake was 51 cents

you started with 5.07
blinds were 0.07
KK lost and gave you 5.07

.07 + 5.07 + 5.07 = 10.21 total pot before rake

Rake was 0.51

10.21 - 0.51 = 9.70


which is exactly in line with " thomashomie (UTG) wins $9.70"

What is rake? Is that how poker tables make money?

Click to expand...

that is correct.. the fee the poker site charges you for their service to you.

it's a % of the pot. In this case it was 5%

Unsurpricingly poker sites do not offer their services for free, and this is how, they make their money.
