Can you explain how this is right? The following is a letter I sent about a hand I just played on Stars.

Hello,

Recently I played this NL$10 hand #35945085184
My problem is this, preflop we were 3 handed after a .50 preflop raise making the pot $1.55 (3x.50 +SB.05)
I held AQo as did another player ( 3rd player really became irrelavent after the flop as he never called a flop bet ).
At the start of the hand I had $11.95 in my stack the other AQo had $12.50. The flop was AJQ and by the river we were all-in
for a total pot of $24.50. I was awarded back $11.65 and the other player was awared back $11.60.
This means we both lost money on a hand that was raised preflop and played to the river for allin and YOU made $1.25.

Can you explain to me how this highway robbery is fair?

It's the rake. They take it out of every hand that reaches like a $1 or something.

If you had rakeback you would have earned another $0.40
