What is a raked hand? (at Virgin)

[mileni4uk]

Virgin have all those tournaments with raked hands requirements. There is a 10k tournament for which you need to have 1500 raked hands. I calculated my hands played on my account statement and I have about 1400-1500 for this month, but when I register on the 10k tourney it says I have 748 raked hands, so I assume it something different than just a hand played. Couldn't find any info on the Virgin site. Any idea?

Re: What is a raked hand? (at Virgin) When rake is taken from the pot and you are in that pot, then it counts as a rake. You can see next to dealer's chips on the left, when rake is taken. Usually if you see the flop and fold the turn you still get a rake hand.
