Pokerstars advertises that there is no rake for .02 - .04 and .05 - .10 BUT they do take especially if it is a micro pot, .08 to .30 or less. I've had as much as 80% of a small pot taken away randomly.
I do have an e-mail to support to review my past play plus log files. NO RESPONSE!

Just keep an eye on the POT amount, then notice the actual amount listed in the window. They do it randomly, the THIEFS.

I know it is so little of an amount, but they should not be doing it just the same.

My Nick is: China Monk

Anyone else notice this?

i think your adding bets to the pot that arent called.
example *using .02/.04*
watch if someone raises before the flop and noone calls.
the pot contains .01 from the SB .02 from the BB and .04 from the raiser for total of .07, however when the pot is given to the player he only won the SB .01 the BB .02 and the .02 he called the BB with the raise amount is not included in the winnings as it was never part of the pot *has to be called to be part of the pot* and the players profit is only .03

i play at PS also, their rake is very clear, go to a higher limit table and watch for a hand look just left of the dealer chip tray and you will see the fake drop slot, rake money gets put there in increments til the hand is over.

Circumstances alter cases
Rule #2 NEVER forget rule #1

Very nice! Not many people admit their mistakes and offer an apology, especially to a faceless organization. You've earned some respect from me, Jack. :)
