What are raked hands?

Raked hands are hands from real money tables where a poker room takes some rake.

In some rooms, you can can get credit for more than 1 raked hand in the same hand: when you see Flop you have 1 raked hand; turn - 2nd; and River - 3rd.

Sometimes poker rooms have a requirement to collect a certain amount of raked hands to participate in a tournament or to get a bonus. So if you see Titan Poker requires 100 raked hands to enter special PokerNews.com $2000 Freeroll, you determine how much play it will take to qualify, depending on the number of hands your table is getting in an hour.

Note. Please check the information about the rake of every poker room. Some may count raked hands from higher stakes than $0.25/$0.50.
