Poker rakeback - How to bring home money that you're Gaining

I started playing in person. Only, I only played poker in person because he felt that online poker was a fraud and if you were not man enough to show your face then you were not man enough to play poker. In addition to the constant availability of tables in online poker is not there was another reason why playing online.

Then one day after a session in Hawaiian Gardens, I began to do some accounting. While he had gone hand in hand after four hours of play, had taken effective for many additional expenses: $ 20 in drinks, $ 25 in tips to the dealer, $ 8 on food (in a horrible tuna sandwich wrapped in cellophane I never would have eaten if I had not cost $ 8) and the expense that really affected me, had paid $ 30 for the rake (commission) of the room. I had not gone hand in hand in this poker game - I played poker but only managed to win out evenly!

Then I discovered one of the most beautiful words in the lexicon of poker: rakeback.

I was comparing my money for poker with a friend who pretends to be professional and I was impressed by how similar our funds were, but how different were our apartments. Sam was the opposite to me, the only play online poker. He told me not only eliminates all travel costs - the inflated prices of food in the poker room, tipping the dealer and the waitress and the concierge and even the valet - but was also a plan of rakeback and earned an additional $ 500 per month for it. So I ask, "What is poker rakeback?

Sam told me that all online poker rooms make money the same way, ie, Rake (Commission) for each hand you play is withdrawn a small percentage of the pot (usually 1-3% of the face and blind) to what is called the rake (commission) of the room. Many sites offer some of that rake your players, this is called rakeback.

"Why do this?? Because they want you to continue playing more hands, after all, this is how these sites make money. If you are returning a portion of the money then there will be more opportunity for you to play more hands.

"What kind of percentages are we talking about? Each site is different but some rakeback plans can reach 40%.

"Then I get 40% of the rake of the room? It would be a millionaire in a minute!? Well no, you would receive 40% of the rake that you specifically contribute to the room. But this is not only for what rakeback serves - many sites have begun to promote Rake Races. These rake races big cash prizes awarded to players who achieve the highest rakeback at different sites in a specific time period. Most races are reset each month rake but there are also weekly. This is an advantage to play Online - you can manage your rakeback plan and other bonuses to your style of play. You are not tied to a single casino or poker room.

"But there must be a ton of paperwork to prepare ...? No, no, once you sign up for a rakeback plan are ready. It will take more or less, 10 minutes to find the perfect accommodation for your style of play and then only you have to play as you normally would and the rakeback is handled on its own. In addition, many sites have rakeback support available 24 / 7 in multiple languages ​​in case something goes wrong for any reason.

And then I got over my mind, I enrolled in a rakeback program and finally began to take home the money I was making playing poker.
