Default Online poker propping

Does anyone here have any info on online propping sites? I'm a small stakes cash grinder and I'm interested in propping for some sites. I've done a few searches on yahoo and sent out a few e-mails but I haven't gotten anything back yet.

If anyone has a link to a legit propping site, please post here.

thanks

mex

ps: if i posted this in the wrong forum, please point me to the correct one.

uh ... as far as I know poker sites rarely need props. Why would a site getting over 5,000 players at any time need a prop? Games start up so quickly online I couldn't see a need for a prop.
Correct me otherwise

Why post if you have no idea what you're talking about.

Almost every site uses props, and some of those who don't know, used to. Even Party Poker had props within the last 18 months. Ultimate Bet uses props, TruePoker used props even when their website claimed that they specifically did not.

Many smaller sites will hire players "in the know" to play at their sites. In exchange of their propping these players do not pay rake and get to play for free.

Props have a prop manager who messages them and tells them to play at certain tables at certain times. It is a props duty to play a certain amount of hours per month at tables specified by their prop manager. By doing this, they keep games open and running so that more players will join to keep the action running.
