Rake by $ amount or by street

[PokerJets]

How can I set the rake by a dollar amount?
For example, in a 5/10 game I want to rake a max of $3 regardless of the number of players in the hand
I want to rake $1 when the pot is at $20
The next dollar when the pot hits $30
and the final dollar when the pot hit $40

Alternatively if this can't be done, can I rake by street?
In other words, rake a dollar on the flop
Then if hit, a dollar on the turn and river

Rake is only applied as a percentage of the pot with an optional cap. In your first example you could set a 100% rake with $3 cap but that would be highly unusual. You cannot rake by street because the pot isn't divided by streets.

Thanks for the quick reply.
if I set the rake to 5%, would it take out $1 for every $20
If so, could I then set the cap to $3?

Yes, and $0.50 for each $10 and $0.25 for every $5, etc., depending on your "Smallest chip" setting.

If so, could I then set the cap to $3?

Yes, any value you want. This is all Pro and Gold edition features, by the way. No rake options in Trial and Lite versions.

If he sets his "smallest chip" to $1, won't it do exactly what he wants? Rake nothing until the pot hits $20. Then take $1. Take nothing more until the pot hits $40 where it will take the second $1.

Yes, if he's ok with the blinds, buy-in, and all bets restricted to a multiple of $1.

Thanks for the input. I use 25 cents as the smallest chip since we play 25/50 limit. The small blind is 12.50.
I set the rake at 5% with a cap of 3. I works perfectly. 25 cents for every 5 that goes into the pot After 60 is in the pot, nothing comes out
