Re: Does the Rake effect your pot odds?
The rake only matters when you win the pot, so it is more important in situations in which you will win more frequently. The effect on value bets is greater than the effect on pot odds.
Ideally, last to act with no rake or threat of being raised, you can value bet with a 50% chance to be ahead when called. If 1/4 of a BB extra is taken out if you bet and are called, then you need to be ahead 4/7 ~ 57% of the time when called to value bet.
