In poker, the term "rake" refers to the fee that a poker room or casino charges for hosting a poker game. It is a small percentage of each pot or a flat fee per hand that goes to the house. The rake is essentially the way the casino or poker room makes money from hosting the game.
The amount of rake can vary depending on the location and the stakes being played. Typically, the higher the stakes, the higher the rake. The rake is usually taken from the pot before it is distributed to the winners of the hand.
For example, let's say you're playing in a poker game with a 5% rake and a pot of $100. The house will take $5 as the rake, and the remaining $95 will be distributed to the winners of the hand.
It's important to be aware of the rake when playing poker, as it can impact your overall profitability. Understanding the rake structure and finding games with lower rake can be advantageous for serious poker players.
