Re: Props and check-raising
I'd have no problem with a rule against shills check-raising, but props should have the same rules as anybody else.

Re: Props and check-raising
bah...while we're at it maybe they should only be able to look at one card. Sounds pretty dumb to me. If you can't deal with being check raised, take your chips to the cashier and have a great day because poker isn't a game for you. just my opinion on it.

In my time in this business I know fo exactly one shill being used in a poker game in a casino, I used it and then had to explain exactly what a shill as and why I signed a paid out slip to give them chips.

Re: Props and check-raising
The nit was out of line. Nobody should ever be upset with how anybody else plays their cards. What if the propr had check-rasied him with a losing hand, would he have been upset then?
That said, sometimes, as a prop, or even as a regular player, you have to consider the big picture. 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.

Re: Props and check-raising
Excuse my ignorance, but do "major" casinos regularly have dealers who are also playing in the game they deal?
No one finds this a little wierd? I mean personally I wouldn't care, but I can't imagine Joe public thinking this is normal. Nor can I imagine card rooms wanting their dealers playing at the same time.
