Re: Does the Rake effect your pot odds?
[ QUOTE ]
When you lose, you lose $1. 4 times equals $4. When you win you win $5 total, but .25 is raked so you profit 3.75 (not including your bet). Therefore the EV on this play is -.25

the ev on the play is actually -.25/5 or -5 cents. that gives you and idea how important this concept is.

but the rake can have a significant effect on what hands you play before the flop, especially when the pot is going to be short handed.
