Brick and Mortar propping

[krazyace5]

I was reading an interview on Dutch Boyd, he said he propped for $500 a week plus benefits after taxes at $6/$12 and under.

Is there still propping opportunities out there? Any info is appreciated, thanks.

It's been six years since I worked in a casino, and poker has changed quite a bit, but we never paid props for any game that wasn't time charged. That was any game under 10/20 which is pretty standard for most casinos. We also required props to deposit a players bank of 100 big bets for the biggest game they played in. That being said, if you're interested in prop play make sure you have an adequate bankroll (more than the house requires you to have), that you're better than break even in short handed play, and that you enjoy playing late hours. If you meet those requirements you'll probably find it a nice added income, since you would tend to be playing at times when the casino needs its props anyway... The only downside is that you don't get to choose your games.

Go to California. For the most part anyways. Props in California can get paid much more than 12 hr. in my experience. More like 18-22. But go by what has already been stated too. No choice of games, shorthanded play, large deposit into players bank. etc.
