Default Re: ask me about being a online and live prop.

$1400/40hr week or $35/hour is significantly more than the casino is paying the dealers and probably the floor too.

How many props are on such a lucrative deal ?

No offense, but most all the props that I have seen look pretty darn miserable. Besides that, they aren't that good at cards, are passive, always buy in short in most games, aren't what one would call attractive humans and dress very poorly. Other than that though............

Do you really enjoy being a prop?

Way to stereotype a live player. I mean "prop player."

Its like saying online players, are fat, geeky kids that are anti-social and live with their parents.

lol

On a more serious note, OP is not going to reveal any specifics, in order to obtain this position. And I doubt most of you are rolled for it either.

ill answer your second questions since its just silly to stereotype all prop poker players. what was your question ?DO i enjoy working as a prop? most days i do, but if i had a family and a mortgage to pay i wouldn't recommend working as a prop unless you have proven yourself over the yrs that your a winning poker player.. This is a tuff game and sometimes it it takes its toll. losing months are the worse, and you start questioning your game. but if you believe in your self and fight through it..in my opinion you become a better poker player. so YES i do enjoy my job.

A winning poker player is a winning poker player.

So long as said player is sufficently rolled for the game they are playing, they never lose.

Is your $35/hr gig one of the more lucrative ? Do you know of any/many people on a more lucrative contract ?
