ONLINE POKER. I have never played on-line poker, but I have looked into it recently without investing my cash
Is the game played exactly the same as you would in a normal game,only with the house taking a small cut of every pot. Is the cut taken out of the winning pot, or dose everyone contribute, even if you are not involved in the hand,. What percentage cut is taken, and why dose all games seem to use US dollars as the stake, even if you play in the UK, or ireland, Would appreciate any info .Thanks Charlie
If you’re playing a ring game a rake is taken from each pot – one site I play on takes a nickel out for every dollar in small stakes games – so basically everyone who remains in a hand where betting and calling is going on is contributing to the rake. In tournaments the house money is paid in the form of a fee – you’ll see a tournament listed as $5 +.50, which means $5 goes into the prize pool and 50 cents goes to the house.
I am not exactly sure why US dollars are used, unless maybe the majority of players are from the US. Geographic location does not really matter, as I have played in tournaments against people all over the world.
