May I ask where you're finding 20/40 Stud 8 live? Any 10/20 or 15/30 as well?

I know 30/60 stud8 has run the last few years during the fall classic at canterbury.

How'd you get into it live? Did they just decide to ask you randomly? Have to know someone?

[/ QUOTE ]

I walk in at several casinos and ask to see the prop manager.. and then ask if their was any prop position available.

Do you have to leave when a table fills? Are you always starting new tables versus joining short handed tables?

[/ QUOTE ]

i Work in the morning so normally i start playing in a shorthanded table with people who are stuck and sleep deprived which is +ev for me. once the table fills i have the option to get up or stay and wait until the floorman tells me to give up my seat.

What limits online and what magical software do you use to stay +EV.

[/ QUOTE ]

When i prop online its normally at small poker sites. and i dont use any magical software. i just take notes on players and their tendency's old school by using "players note"

all that matters is that you clock in at your appropriate time and not make any type of seen at the tables.

[/ QUOTE ]

what are your hours like? is it a set schedule?

how much time do you spend shorthanded?

[/ QUOTE ]

ONline you dont have a set schedule which i love, but live poker you do.. for example i work from 8am to 4pm 5 days out of the week..

and to answer your second question i normally play shorthanded in the morning for about a hr then the table fills up with bunch of regs.

I think its been asked, but I don't see the answer...

Are you constantly moving from game to game? Seems like once a game gets good you would be forced to move, severely limiting any profit (other than what the house pays you, obv)

[/ QUOTE ]

GREAT QUESTION! their are different type of props and i've done all of them.

movable prop- your job is to start games. and once its filled up and their is a waiting list your required to get up and give up your seat.. your normally play about 6-7 different games within a 8 hr period. I have a good friend who is a movable prop and loves it, because he gets bored just playing one type of game for 8 hrs. but for me I absolutely hated it.. so it all depends on you.

silent prop- you just sit down at the poker game you applied for. and play your 8hrs and then leave. you dont get up if their is a waiting list. you dont move to a better game, you just sit down and grind it out.

host poker player (my current position)- I can move to any game that i want, if am playing in a game that has bunch of rocks and their is a waiting list then i just give up my seat and move to a better game. i also contact the regs and let them know about certain promotions that were having. I absolute love my job!
