When I started out playing poker, this was sometimes discussed. The winners claimed they paid, as the money was taken out of the pots they won. The losers claimed they paid, as there would have been no money for the rake, if they had not lost. Somebody claimed that all paid the rake, as it was taken from everybody.
What is your opinion? Ejnar Pik, Southern-Docks. |

over time it is collected from everybody evenly if they all play the same number of hands.
who pays the rake in any particular hand is a purely philosophical discussion. |

addendum: if one person wins a lot more hands than anyone else then they would pay more rake. If everyone wins the same percentage of hands then the rake is evenly distributed.

so what you're saying is the pot's winner pays the rake, if that's what you're saying you'd be right. Over the long run tight players will pay less rake.

The winner pays the rake. It is taken from his or her winnings. The loosers do not pay an additional fee when they loose, therefore the loosers do not pay.

The loser of the hand does not pay the rake. If you call all the way you'll lose 3BB on the hand and it doesn't matter how much the rake is: you lose 3BB.
The winner of the pot pays the rake. If you call all the way heads-up you'll win 3BB from the opponent MINUS the rake. This means you need to dowgrade the actual pot size, early in the hand, when determining to play. If there is likely a $3 rake then your first decision should presume the pot is about $3 less than it actually is. Over-all the folks that win the most hands pay most of the rake. - Louie |

The winner pays the rake with a portion of the bets won from all the players that contribute them.
Thats why it is important not to pursue edges smaller than the portion of the rake that you are accountable for in a given betting senario in a raked game. this is a very basic explanation. timmer |

When you propose 2 scenarios, one has no "ifs" and the other does, go with the one without the ifs.

At PL high-low split games it's often both of you!
It's not uncommon to split the pot and get back less than you put in. It can even happen at high only games. One of my best moments playing poker was when I correctly folded with the nuts to an all-in bet with one caller already there. All three of us had the same hand and I'd have lost money by calling! |
