If this is an available job, can someone let me know? I have played a small amount of play money NL hold em, but I watch tv poker almost everyday. In my opinion, if you can master no-limit, you can play the limited bets poker no problem. [/ QUOTE ] You have much to learn.

Re: Prop Player?
The pay is significant. On some sites you can get 28 cetns a hand. On other sites you can get 110% rake back, these both add up really fast. If you woule like specific details send me a message and I will share them.

How can this be? I thought the banker gives you money to play and no matter what you get paid by the hour. The money won/lost stays with the house? [/ QUOTE ] No, props play with their own money.

Re: Prop Player?
Hi Ronald and welcome to forums.

In my opinion, if you can master no-limit, you can play the limited bets poker no problem. [/ QUOTE ] Before you jump into the world of "real money" internet poker I think you should spend a lot of time reading these forums. You made 2 VERY dangerous statements. Watching TV poker does absolutely nothing for a beginning player. You have to realize that your seeing a very chopped up and manipulated video. They are "telling" a story to you. It really is very close to "make believe". In fact, in some cases hands are unintentionally or intentionally fabricated. Many "beginners" see a pro like Gus Hansen make a big bet with two crappy cards and think this is something they can do to. They don't realize he has been playing at this same table with the same people for five hours and some of them he has had played against for dozens of hours and is considering many things like their chip stacks versus his chip stacks, number of hands they have been playing, blinds in comparison to chip stacks, how many people are left to act and even more. TV tells you none of this. You also don't get to see that he has folded the last 47 hands in a row. They just string together 3 times where he played loose and people think "man, this guy is a manic and gets away with it.” Your second point. Most serious players would disagree with you. They feel No-limit poker to be an easier game than limit poker. You have your logic somewhat backwards. I don’t think anyone here would say “If you master limit then no-limt should be easy” but to say the opposite I think would be further off . I believe most feel that they are just two TOTALLY different games and for the most part the only close things are pre-flop decisions and even this can be quite different on such things as small pocket pairs. Anyways, why did I take the time to type all this. Because I hope you haven’t taken the plunge into real money yet. If you have, I hope your playing at limit that seems “low” to you because my guess is you need to learn a lot. I say all this because my brother went through a lot of money the hard way. I didn’t even know he was playing poker for real money until we got together one day this summer (we live many miles apart) and we played some hold’em for fun with a group. I quickly realized he was an “any A, any suited and I’ll throw some crap hands in once in awhile to mix my game up” type player. He was also a chaser. He played pretty good post flop but was doing a lot of chasing. After the game ended I brought up what I thought of his play and found out he was a regular donater at the party games and over the last year had dropped quite a bit. To him it was no big deal and it was “kind of like going to the casino”. Since you’ve managed to discover these forums I think you should spend a lot of time reading them. If you want to play poker for fun or entertainment that is fine, I personally have nothing against it. In fact, I will on occasion just stop thinking about the game and play totally on instinct in “home” low limit games just because I like “goofing” around with people I’m playing with. Going home up 40 or down 40 doesn’t make a difference, it was just entertainment. On the other hand, if you want to play poker serious I think you really need to start changing your thinking.

Re: Prop Player?
Thanks for the information, all. I really didn't know there was so much to it. I don't have allot of money, so I guess I really need to practice at something small like 2-dollar, 4-dollar poker before I get into it bigger.
Yes, I guess I started posting out of enthusiasm, and THEN I started to read the forums. Wow, there is allot if information here and allot to learn!
