BTW Chipr....the shoe does not have "props" by the true definition of the word. I would just call them dealers playing in a game. And screw the nit.

that explains it.

I was going to say that I was completely unaware that the Horseshoe has 'props'.

I already knew that the dealers there frequently play in the games and I have no problem with that...but had no clue that they actually had 'props'.

Now i know that they really DON'T have props.

Re: Props and check-raising
 

In my mind a prop is a dealer playing in a game while on the clock. A prop at Horseshoe is playing with his or her own money. They risk loosing and also keep what they win. Our dealers are NOT allowed to play if they're not on the clock. The poster that mentioned that dealers playing while on the clock at Horseshoe should get up when the game fills has no idea how valuable a prop is to the room. They're required to play in short games if that's the case, move to a short table if need be, and be able to play whatever limits are needed.

Re: Props and check-raising
 

do they only get base-salary then or do they get anything additional for their hours playing to make up for the tips they aren't getting??

was unaware that they weren't allowed to play in their room when off the clock.

There are some players I will never check-raise head-up because there are things that are more important than the extra few dollars I would win on that hand.

Andy, I am disappointed.

Re: HORSESHOE TUNICA is what you are addressing this thread
 

No, I'm not. When games are started under those circumstances, they are unprofitable for me. I never play in (Harrah's) Horseshoe Tunica, during the weekdays on the day shift. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

GET THOSE "ON DUTY" HORSESHOE DEALERS OUT OF ALL THE GAMES.

I guess your not there when the game wouldn't have started without the "dealer" helping.

Um, why are you playing at the horseshoe? PM me if you'd like an invite to the game over at the hospice.

Disappointed that he said what is true or disappointed in that you don't believe what he said is true...?

Make no mistake: there is no doubt that with some people what he said is 100% accurate.
