SapphireTiger 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Player Tags: Prop PlayersProp players are paid employees of the poker room or casino. Although they play with their own money (keeping their winnings and suffering losses, they move from table to table as the establishment's management deems fit to enhance the play of a given game. Gaming regulations require that proposition players identify themselves whenever asked by any player at any time. This may help you avoid playing against them, because they are usually very dangerous players, prepared to maximize their incomes. Link to post Share on other sites

SapphireTiger 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 These two have no idea what they're about to walk into. Down here ot have a good time, they figure, Why not give poker a try? After all, how different can it be from the home poker games they've played their whole lives? Luck. All the luck in the world isn't gonna change things for these guys. they're simply overmatched. We're not playing together, but we're not playing against each other, either. It's like the Nature Channel.
