What to look for in a prop deal?
Posted on October 6, 2009Prop deals come in all shapes and forms and besides the prop restrictions, there are quite a few other factors that will make or break value in the deal. Some poker prop deals only offer the advertised rakeback percentage on certain limits. Others only offer prop rakeback on cash games, and exclude tournaments altogether. Obviously, if you’re a SNG player, such a deal won’t carry a whole lot of value for you.
The frequency of the prop payments is a factor too. Some poker prop rooms only pay their players at the end of the month, while others pay them weekly or even daily. Mind you that sometimes you will have to claim your prop payment manually.
If you’re playing with positive EV on your side (and with a good prop deal that will probably be the case) getting that money back to the tables as soon as possible becomes imperative.
The rake contribution method used by the site is also a factor which influences the overall value of the deal.
