1) Am I right to say that in poker games, we are playing against other players and not the dealer (or house).
2) If we are playing against other poker players, then what do these casinos earn?
Thanks

1) Correct
2) In tournaments, you pay a fee on top of the buy-in, which is what the house keeps (the rest goes into the prize pool). In regular (ring) games, the house takes rake (a portion of the total pot) to keep as their fee. They usually list their rake schedule on their website.
