Stripping can mean two different things. Firstly, to clarify that the bankroll is the entirety of our stack. Whether it's chips in tournaments or money in cash games, the entirety of what you have on the table is your bankroll. When we talk about raiding, we mean losing all your chips or taking all your opponent's chips ("I raided him on a cooler with aces against kings"). Rake also means to protect your chips when playing cash games. This technique is also called "ratholing".

An example of ratholing

For example, we buy the minimum possible on a table, say 50 euros. We quickly double our stake to 100 euros. We then leave the table to go and wash up. We go to the casino desk, exchange €50 of our chips for tickets and then take a seat at the same table with €50. Some players want to protect their winnings in this way. These players always prefer to have a small stack to go all in more easily. These players are called "shortstacks". Note that this technique is illegal almost everywhere and online poker rooms have systems in place that will prevent you from doing this.
