| In popular poker you are just playing against other players, not the house. |

| Doesn't the house take a percentage of the pot ("rake", isn't it called?). Not a poker player, just thought that was a thing. |

| ▲ | albedoa 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yes. The person you are responding to doesn't quite understand the comment they are responding to :) The rake can turn a breakeven or even winning player into a losing player. That's what we mean. | | |
