Good post, Nick.  The rake is something few players give any thought to, and they sometimes make late-hand moves which don't really improve anything but the house take.  Since I rarely play any ring games above the .50/1.00 level, the rake isn't a major consideration for me.  But for purposes of good pot management, the solid all-around player is going to understand the rake structure in the game they're playing and how their betting affects the rake.  The house is going to get their cut, as always, but there's no sense in [I]giving[/I] money away, particularly your own.

I do agree with the Grinder on his points that the house is always going to get their cut, that poker is the only game that isn't slanted to the house, and that your best approach is to worry about the game and let the rake worry about itself.

The only thing fresh that I would add here is when selecting your online poker rooms, take time to become familiar with the rake structure.  Like everything else, the formats are different from site to site and can impact issues like bonus redemption in ways you might not expect.
