Propping and short handed play
Posted on October 19, 2009Don’t listen to what anybody tells you: if you’re a poker prop, you will have to play in short handed games and therefore you should be good at short handed play. Almost none of the rooms offering poker prop deals allow their props to play at full tables only. That means if you play at a table and it fills up (a table which let’s say you started), you will have to open up a new table and play at that one too. Likewise, if your new table fills up too, you’re going to have to open a third table and so on. If you reach the maximum number of tables you can handle, you’ll have to quit one of your full ones in order to open up a new table.
The bottom line is, while poker propping may not be rocket science, you’d do better to whip your short handed skills into shape, because you’ll need them. One way or another, that’s what it’s going to come down to.
