The percentage the house takes from each pot. Playing live the rake is usually higher than it is online. It is only in cash games. Tourneys take the buy in fee in place of rake.

Rake is a software task management and build automation tool.I'm kidding that si rake in ruby on rails.Rake is the scaled commission fee taken by a cardroom operating a poker game. It is generally 2.5% to 10% of the pot in each poker hand, up to a predetermined maximum amount.

Rake is when everyone wonders where all the money went in an hour even though nobody left the table a winner in a cash game. So you are playing against the house because they charge for the seat you are sitting in, besides you having to play smarter than those sitting around you trying to take your money.

Rake is where they take money out of a pot or prize pool.

They explained you what's a rake so I will only add that you don't pay a rake when you win a hand preflop. As on microstakes cash games rake is huge then it's definitely worth to 3bet more.

You probably want to ask not about rake, but about rakeback. A simple example if the rakeback is 30%, the player receives 30% of the fee when playing cash or in a tournament. And the payment takes place in the form of progress in points, at which the cashback comes from the amount of the washed rake. In General, the rake itself is the income that we pay as a tax, but the system of incentives for each room has its own.
