online- rakes, profit, players...
I'm looking to get started playing online hold 'em. I was looking at some of the sites and it seems party poker has the highest rake by far. Is this just my imagination or is it 10%?
Onto another issue... How much can a good players expect to make per hour after rake at a .50/1.00 table. A 1/2 table? Also what sites have good and bad players? Sorry I have a lot of questions, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post this in the internet forum - you'll get more responses, and more than likely a few people will offer to split (or give you) their referral bonus for depositing at a site.

You can check out Party's rake structure here:

Re: online- rakes, profit, players...
I don't believe it is 10%, although the rake is quite
high at .5/1 and 1/2. At 1/2, I believe they take 0 when the pot is below $10, 50 cents after pot reaches $10, 1 dollar after pot reaches $20, 2 dollar after $40 and top out at 3 dollar after $60. Somewhat less when table is shorthanded. I could be wrong. Assuming I am right, this means that sometimes the rake is 0, but statistically it is around 3-4%. I haven't done the math, but it would be fairly easy to do. The average pot at 1/2 is probably around $15, maybe slightly less. Higher limits, somewhat lower rake percentage. Even though these numbers are much better than found in real life casinos, the poker engines must still be money machines. I mean, all it takes is some software development (of course not trivial, but still), a server, a good Internet connection, a couple of supporters, and some legal fees. Oh yes, and a lot of marketing. The rakes should go down when more sites open up, which is bound to happen. There must currently be a big over profit. At least this is what I would assume based on normal market mechanisms. But it will only happen if players actually start taking notice of the rakes, so posts like yours are great. /MHunt
