PM me for the casino, but basically there isn't much to elaborate on. I went to this place that has a few of those electronic tables and there was a sign up on the wall that said hiring prop players. I called the lady and she had a special card for me the next day that gives me .35 every time i'm dealt a hand. (at the end of the week). Generally half the players are propping and sometimes i have to wait to get on the table with that card because there is a max of four props per table.

The best is when a few people show up and they don't mind playing short handed so I'll play 5 handed with 3-4 nubs getting 60+ hands an hour.

What else is there to say? They rake 3 bucks + 1 that goes to jackpot and a sweet free roll they do for the non props. When playing 5+ handed if it folds to the small blind the big and small blind generally high card for the 3 bucks to avoid the automatic drop. The players are MUCH better, well tighter, than your average 1/2 live game. Avg preflop opening raise is 7-8, 4 to a flop is pretty uncommon in a raised pot. There are a couple players that I would say are solid, most of the props are simply tight.. its almost all young kids like myself propping.

Oh yeah, you have to play a four hour session for your hands to count. Unfortunately the floor isn't the same person that is in charge of the props and they do a terrible job of getting 2nd games going. There are always too many props.

But its just so sick, I'm running probably around average.. nearly all of my profit on that table comes from stealing/value betting in small pots, in 30 hours of play i've been stacked twice, and took down big pots maybe 5 times. I'm up ~800 from the games. I've only had one payment so far for my hands and that came to $25 an hour, but included about an hour of 5 handed play.

the lady running the props is a milf fwiw

There aren't props where I play, but 4 at a table seems like a lot, no?

Do the props at your casino have to identify themselves when asked?

There is not actually a rule, no. One guy was horrified when he found out there were 4 on the table and 2 waiting to get on the table, after he got creamed. He ran into some coolers, but he was telling the floor 'its a real concern that half the players are playing for the house, its a real problem.'

However in practice its not only easy to identify the props because we use different cards for logging in and out, and most people use their cards on the touch screen.. anyone I assume would just say yeah I am.

Four at a table is a lot. A local law that will hopefully be changed only allows 8 people on a table, so almost always fully half of the players are props. They make it so easy to become a prop, and its such a good deal, there is no shortage.

I haven't been in there on a friday night or weekend, they are supposedly busy then. But I have only seen two tables running once, and the 2nd table was short handed. Part of the problem is that the floor sucks at starting new games.. they don't treat the props like props. We should be getting moved OUT of games to let non props in and moved to new tables etc, but in practice this never happens. Its good and bad for us I guess.

I don't mind playing with 3 other props really, as there are only two players that it seems are playing the game on the same level I am, usually only one of them will be at the table with me and we stay out of each others way for the most part. We probably give each other too much respect, I certainly give them too much, but I always end up OOP against them (on the table, not necessarily hands) so maybe that has something to do with it.
