Side Pot Prob
-------------------
;) I got one more question in side pot to bother u again. Perhapos the last one of this kind :P.
Thanks anyway for ur support for making me understand the poker house rules in a better way.

Case:
Based on the solution provided to me earlier in the same forum
where i asked how to subtract rake amount for multiple pots in a texas game
I have one more possibility here

$0.25 rake amount is taken from the pot /side pot for every $5 with a maximum limit of $1.
There is a main pot of $7 and a side pot of 4$.

Which is the right method to solve Rake deduction here?
Method 1: As there is one pot of $7 (>$5) then we took $0.25 from the first pot and nothing from second pot !!
Method 2: But if we see there is a total bet amount of $11 ($7 + $4) where we perhaps may ask for $0.50 rake amount from total bet amount. If this method applies then from which pot/s we have to deduct $0.50?

Which is right approach?

my understanding is that you rake as you go along. The rake schedule is a cumulative total and is taken from the active pot. So the main pot got an initial rake of $.25 when it hit $5 and the side pot gets a rake when the total bets equals $10 (when there was $3 in the side pot).

Dealers correct me if i'm wrong.
