becoming a prop
 

I see in sites that you can 4 table 1/2 limit and can make approximately 28 per hour which is pretty good. Any negatives to being a prop? I know you have to play shorthanded games etc but wouldn't there be sites where there are just not enough players for me to 4 table?

even at more than 100% four tables of $1/$2 limit poker is more like $15 dollars per hour.

Re: becoming a prop
 

they say show it ranging from 18-32 per hour.

It depends on the site. Most sites dont have a drop if there is no flop betting. There are sites that drop as soon as the SB is called and there is a flop. It changes the math quite a bit.

Many of the sites you can play on are very short on actual customers (which is why they need props) and you end up playing against other very decent prop players.

wow theres so little players there. How can i even play on those sites whens theres like nobodoy playing 1/2 fixed?

Re: becoming a prop
 

Most sites that want props either have very very few players or only want props that will play mid to high stakes. So if you are a small stakes limit player there aren't a lot of good propping options. You can prop small stakes NL pretty easily though.

its like a ghostown in those sites. I see some 1 or 2 players in 3/6 fixed just WAITING. Guess i wouldnt wanna do this

Re: becoming a prop
 

You'd be surprised at how much some props make each week at these "ghost towns".

i checked those sites out like 4 of them really and downloaded their software. There were only 2 of them that really had some players... at least 1000 players. The other 2 had about 350-450 only. Most of the players were either play chips or 0.05/0.10 NL [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
