Message: [QUOTE="The Spillage, post: 1503955, member: 67349"] As I understand it - props are employed by casinos or online sites to encourage other players to sit at cash game tables. Props will sit at empty tables in an attempt to get others to join (rather than joining a waiting list at another). They are compensated by increased rakeback deals. They always have to use their own funds when playing though. A prop will spend much of their time playing (very) short-handed as they are expected to move to a new empty table when the current one fills up. So they're not able to go fishing with good table selection like the rest of us. In fact, when they do find themselves at a good table they're gonna be moved on regardless of how much they want to stay... Can't answer the OP's question of whether they are really that profitable. I suspect not: your standard 30% rakeback calculators are notoriously inflated - I would guess that propping rakeback calculators are too. [/QUOTE]
