Rake is the scaled commission fee taken by a cardroom operating a poker game. It is generally 2.5 to 10 percent of the pot in each poker hand, up to a predetermined maximum amount.〔(PokerStars Poker Table Rake )〕〔(Partypoker.com: Rake And Blind Structure )〕 There are also other non-percentage ways for a casino to take the rake. Some cardrooms will not take a percentage rake in any community card poker game like Texas hold 'em when a hand does not have a flop. This is called "no flop, no drop".〔 Poker is a player-versus-player game, and the house does not wager against its players (unlike blackjack or roulette), so this fee is the principal mechanism to generate revenues. It is primarily levied by an establishment that supplies the necessary services for the game to take place. In online poker it covers the various costs of operation such as support, software and personnel. In traditional brick and mortar casinos it is also used to cover the costs involved with providing a dealer (though in many places tips provide the bulk of a dealer's income) for the game, support staff (from servers to supervisors), use of gaming equipment, and the physical building in which the game takes place. The rake in live games is generally higher than for online poker. To win when playing in poker games where the house takes a cut, a player must not only beat opponents, but also the financial drain of the rake.〔(Raked Over the Coals: Poker Rake )〕 ==Mechanism== There are several ways for the rake to be taken.〔(Thepokerforum.com: The Effects of the Rake or Time Charge on your Bottom Line" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rake (poker)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
