How many of these players are shills for the house? Keeping 2 short games running is more rpofitable for the house than 1 full game, even with the dropped rake.

situation Rick described does indeed sound like the games were 90% shills.

that is the bizarro world. usually players start screaming when one player in a full game starts racking up. i almost decked this one obnoxious bastard at the wsop cash games this summer, who insisted on screaming for players, right into my ear.

Surely these can not be props in these games, as the complaints would be constant...

One or two of the regular players may be salaried props of some sort. Most of the rest are "VIP Players" earning 35 cents per hand on what looks like the condition that they don't complain about the games being short or started unnaturally. Then on occasion there's me watching the whole thing in what seems to have become morbid curiosity.

No, although a game at Crystal Park with too many salaried props let to this story.
