since I play mainly tourneys, I'd have a short question on the cash statistics I'm not used too; specifically, I'd like to know how the rake is calcaluted (playing on stars, if that matters), why it is different on the general and summary tab, and how the columns 'amount won' and 'rake' relate (i.e., is the amount won the true amount I won already net rake, and the rake is only displayed in a seperate column for information, or do I have to deduct the rake from the amount won to get my real income?)

Amount won is your net win after rake has been deducted. Rake is the amount of rake that you personally have paid from hands that you won on the General tab. On the Summary tab it's the rake that each person paid from hands that they won.

only from hands I've won? what about the hands I was involved in but folded/lost? I suppose I do pay rake for them too?

You only pay rake when you win - rake is the amount of money the site takes out of the pot before giving it to the winner(s).
Any bets you make along the way are just bets - they contribute to the pot, but they are just "losses" to you, not rake.
