What is Rake?
Rake is a small percentage of the total pot. This is how VC Poker make money. By taking a small percentage from the millions of hands that are played they are able to run the site and generate an income for themselves.The rake taken depends upon the number of players and the table blinds as follows:
For Pot Limit and No Limit games the rake taken is 5% for 5c/10c, 10c/20c and 25c/50c tables, and $0.25 per $5.00 of the pot for $0.50/$1 games and higher up to the following:
| Players | Max Rake |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | $1.00 |
| 4-3 | $2.00 |
| 5-9 | $3.00 |
For Limit games 5% of the pot is taken 5c/10c, 10c/20c and 25c/50c tables with the following maximums and then a smaller percentage for higher stake games.
| Players | Max Rake |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | $0.50 |
| 4-3 | $0.75 |
| 5-9 | $1.00 |
Ring Games
Action Points are earnt depending upon the rake taken at each hand as follows:| Rake | Action Points |
|---|---|
| $0.25 - $0.50 | 1 |
| $0.51 - $1.00 | 2 |
| $1.01 - $1.50 | 4 |
| $1.51 - $2.00 | 6 |
| $2.01 - $2.50 | 7 |
| $2.51 - $3.00 | 8 |
| $3.00 + | 9 |
Tournament Games
Playing in tournament games earns action points at a rate of 15 points for every $1 of tournament fees.Clearing your Bonus
Bearing the above in mind you need to be playing in higher stake games with 5 or more players to produce sufficient rake to earn the Action Points to clear the bonuses. Therefore you should ideally start off in the 10c/20c tables, otherwise you will struggle to get over the $0.25 rake required to produce an action point.Moving to higher stakes as soon as possible will significantly increase the amount of action points you receive.
