2010 is coming to an end and so are our rake races for December. 2011 is around the corner and we are happy to announce the rake races for January 2011. Read on to find out more.
The new year will be almost no different from 2010 when it comes to rake races as you can tell from our overview below.

What is a rake race?
In a rake race, the goal is to collect as many StrategyPoints as possible at a specific partner poker room of PokerStrategy.com. The players with the most StrategyPoints at the end of the month will get a share of the prize pool. The races normally run over the course of one month, though some of our partner rooms offer weekly races during the month.
To collect StrategyPoints, you simply need to be a PokerStrategy.com member and have a tracked account at the poker room where the rake race is taking place.
You can, of course, take part in several rake races at the same time. You can join in the rake races at any time. However, the earlier you start, the higher your chances of winning are.
