Poker Rake and Rake Back

Online poker has grown in popularity and demand in the past few years. There is no need of visiting casinos to play poker as the internet brings online casinos to your home. Poker is a game that consists of many terms and plays; and one of the more popular phrases used in poker is poker rake and rake back.

Poker rake and rake back is a phrase many serious online poker players are quite versatile with. The rake in a poker rake and rake back is basically the method of making money by online poker sites. When playing a game of poker with real money, the house generally takes a percentage of each hand for itself; this is poker rake. Different online poker sites earn different poker rakes; but it is usually 5% of the pot amount.

Now about rake backs. Poker sites generally find out how much a player spends on online poker every month. If the player had signed up to the poker site through an affiliate, then the affiliate is paid a commission for having brought the player to the site. And in a bid to gain an advantage against competitors, the affiliates offer a larger percentage of this money to players and this is called a rake back. It is usually the poker rake and rake back that interests a player to sign up to the particular site or affiliate. This is because they charge a reasonable poker rake and a considerable rake back.

When playing online poker, both the poker rake and the rake back are important points to be considered when choosing the online poker site. Usually the poker rake is charged automatically where the person is not aware that they are being charged. When playing online poker, it is important that the player not only beat other players on the table, but also beat the poker rake. This is because winning money with no rake only ends up in the player ending up a loser.

However, when the rake back comes into the picture, players who were once losers become poker players who win with a profit. So a player who is winning in the game of poker automatically ends up with a fat bonus with the rake back. So when signing up in an online poker site, it is important that you first consider the poker rake and rake back of the site.

You have to make a rough calculation of how much you stand to lose through the poker rake and the amount of money you stand to win with rake back. You are paid a percentage of the money that the house charged as a poker rake in a rake back. In addition to this, the number of hands that the player plays and the stakes that are paid also determines the size of the rake back. So considering the poker rake and rake back of an online poker site, a casual and low limit player can earn about a few hundred dollars a month while professionals can rope in about $3,000.

So it can be seen that it is of no use to sign up to a site where there is no rake back. All poker players should be sure to receive a rake back when playing online poker; otherwise tons of money will be lost on the poker table. It is only with a rake back that a poker player can optimize his or her profits.

Hi George,

You gave here some good tips but you didn't mentioned what is the best poker room. Is it Pacific Poker, or maybe Golden Palace Poker or Party Poker? I think the readers would like to know that...
