General - there is really not much to a rake, you just reach and pull.

LMAO

All I know is the house takes some in

House rake is usually determined by the number of players at a particular table. Most all the online poker rooms use a short rake which equals a maximm of $3 taken per hand with a full table, taken in increments when the pot reaches certain levels.

There is schedule like this:

http://www.ultimatebet.com/games/rake.html

which says how much money they take from each pot.

For example, if you are playing at a full table, 3/6 holdem, the chart says "rake: $0.50/$10" and "cap: $3" which means they will take $0.50 when the pot reaches $10, another $0.50 when it reaches $20 and so on up to $60 when they will have taken the 6th installment of $0.50 for a total of $3. There is a cap of $3, so above $60 they don't take any more rake. If the pot is exactly 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60, then they will have taken exactly 5%. If the pot is any other amount, they will have taken less than 5%

Most have a "no flop no drop" policy, so they only count the pot from the flop onwards.

Any questions?
