Calculating Rake: Traditional and Contribution method
If you are playing at a Rake back poker room, make sure you know which method is used.
The traditional method of calculating Rake is simply taking the Rake collected and dividing it by the number of players.
An example of this would be:
If a player contributes $20 to a $100 pot, and poker room collects $5.00 as Rake from that pot, then the Rake per player for a 10 player table is $0.50. This type of Rake system benifits tight players.
The industry is moving towards the contribution method, a.k.a. t_rake.
An example of this would be:
If a player contributes $20 to a $100 pot, and the poker room collects $5.00 as Rake from that pot, then t_rake = ($5.00 x $20) / $100 = $1.00. This method benifits the aggressive players.
