Hello martins1337,

Taken from the PokerStrategy Glossary;

The rake or chop is the house's cut of each and every pot. A hand where a rake is taken is called a raked hand. The conditions for and amount of the rake are different. Usually, a rake of 5% of the pot is taken as long as a certain threshold amount is exceeded. The amount of the maximum rake per hand is also constrained according to the particular establishment and limit.

On most sites rake is 5% but on some others they increase rake % on lower limits. There is no way to aviod rake, its a fee you have to pay in a hand. Its how Poker sites make there money

Best Regards and Good Luck!

rake is exactly taxes, money we hate to pay to the suits
and rakeback is like tax write-offs
