Rake Question

OMahonyO

This may be common knowledge I`m not sure, but say Im in a cash game with say £50 at nl20, and I get involved in a hand with someone who has £10.  I like my hand and realise at some point that I may as well set him all in.  It is easier for me to press the all in button,  putting my whole stack in.

Say he folds with £5 left, the pot is now £55.  Am I paying rake on that £55?,  or do I get back the difference and pay rake on whats left.

Rake is only paid on (voluntarily) matched bets so no rake would be taken from your surplus bet.
Also, I'm pretty sure, no rake is paid if you raise pre-flop and you get no callers.
Rake on SkyPoker appears to be 5% capped at £1.80 although this is merely from my own observation/calculations as I cannot find it documented anywhere.

I have always struggled to understand this - would be very useful to be able to read how rake works on Sky somewhere.
