hi,
i find that PS charge for every hand when is show flop it is 3,5% pot for 2NL. So if flop is open, pot is for example 8b, so rake is 0,01$. For 1$ pot it is 0,04$ rounding up. 3,5% * pot = rake?

Hi pimient0,
There is more to it than just the % amount. There is also a cap, so that no matter how big the pot
Here is a link to PokerStars ' rake structure for cash games:
https://www.pokerstars.com/poker/room/rake/
For tournaments, the fee and prize pool amount are explicitly stated.
To answer you question about the percentages, this paragraph from the above link will help:
True Percentage Rake
Ring game rake is calculated as a true percentage using the ‘round half to even’ method of rounding.
I had never heard of the "round half to even" method of rounding, so I'm glad you posted this question!

I asked in the mathematical forum about this way of calculating charges. It is said to be a way in which the operator earns less or goes out similarly. Depending on the variables.
One thing just annoys me. It's a bad feeling when you have a strong hand, but you lose a few blinds on the showdown because your opponent has the same.

Could be tricky. Especially if you are playing from a county you aren't allowed to play on PokerStars.

Yeah, that is a pain!
In hold'em it doesn't happen that much though.
In split-pot games like Omaha Hi/Lo split it can happen nearly every hand.
