I will NEVER EVER play on any IPoker skin again!
I was just playing the speed poker and i was holding KhQh in the BB i called a min raise from the SB and the flop came As 10c Jd, my opponent bets and i flat call turn comes blank, my opponent bets i flat call, the river comes another blank and i have the nuts my opponent shoves obv i snap call.
the pot is $62 i show the nuts and so does my opponent, the pot is shipped back to us and they rake $4 there fore we both end up with less than we started with.
How the hell can you have a winning hand and end up with less money than you started with!
I say again i will NEVER play on an I-Poker skin again!

I will respect you if you stick to this.
Though I expect it's a drama post and you'll be back on there soon

| Do no other sites rake on split pots? I'm pretty sure Stars does? |

Best remove yourself from all poker sites and never play live again as well then mate. All hands that go post flop are raked regardless of splits.
Thats life  |

As plenty of other people have pointed out, there was a flop, so the house took their drop, IIRC this was standard when I first played online poker (mid 2000s) and has been ever since, maybe having modern software that auto-tops up for you has stopped you noticing this in the past. A quick Google suggests that in the live world, there is no standard.
Once I realised this wasn't just a bad beat post were villain runner runners a flush, I thought the thing you were going to complain about was the $4 rake charge. Judging by your description of how the hand played out, you were playing micro NL, so according to Genting's site, you should only have been raked $3:

You have a legitimate complaint and should contact Genting, then spill the beans to us! |
