  • How Rake Affects Your Win RateRake Is The Fee A Cash Game Takes From Each Pot, And Because It Is Capped It Costs Small Pots The Most: In An Example Structure Of 5% Capped At 3 Big Blinds, A 10 Big Blind Pot Pays 0.5 Big Blinds And A 100 Big Blind Pot Pays Only 3, Which Is 3%.
  • How To Play In Straddle GamesA Straddle Is A Voluntary Blind Raise Before The Cards Are Dealt, Usually Twice The Big Blind, And It Makes Every Stack Effectively Shallower: 100 Big Blinds Facing A 2 Big Blind Straddle Is Only 50 Straddles Deep.
