Play as a prop

Propping - A great opportunity for you who like playing short handed, play well and spend a lot of time at the poker tables.

If you have read all my articles at FixedLimitHoldem.com, you have probably noticed that in my opinion, it isn't as easy to make money by playing poker as many people believes. It is overestimated if you don´t know all the tools you can use to become a winning player.

Of course, poker offers good opportunities but the road to the big money is very long and it takes a lot of practise to learn how to beat the games, even when playing low limit poker. Also, when you have gained enough knowledge and experience to beat the games the reward isn't that big - just a few big bets an hour. To that, add the possible social problems. Can a poker player afford to put poker in the first place long enough to become a winner? To become a winning player you must often give priority to the computer screen instead of, let's say your girlfiend, and that in turn definitely causes big social problems for many players. I definitely think that the social problems are much more common than economical problems for players who try to understand poker and how to beat the game. A player studying poker strategi/theory shouldn't - if he isn't a real addicted maniac - lose more than he can afford by playing poker. If he does, he has broken the most basic important rule of all: Never play higher than your bankroll can support. You can find this rule in any poker guide - even the bad ones...

It takes a huge amount of time to build up a bankroll from scratch if you are starting at the lowest stakes. And that is where the possible social problems comes in.

This is perhaps the most important page on FixedLimitHoldem.com as the thing I am going to tell you about now could turn a pretty good player into a great winner who could actually earn a living just by playing. This information can also turn a player who is a slight loser into a player who also makes quite a lot of money. Best thing of all - you could apply this at low limit tables too. You don´t have to play high stakes!

Yes, there are more ways to earn money by playing poker than just using your skill and play as an ordinary customer in your favourite poker room. I am talking about playing as a " prop" or proposition player. A prop is a player who is paid by the poker room for starting new tables, saving dying games and creating a good environment for their customers. You have to follow some simple rules, as for an example sit down at a table which already has enough prop players and never use bad language in the chat. You most often have to start up a new table if the table where you are sitting is filled. Propping is maybe not for those kind of players who don´t like playing heads-up or short handed games - because that is exactly what you are getting paid to do. Many times it is quite low traffic at poker rooms that are using props, thus it is your task to change that. A prop doesn't get any other advantage when playing other than a really good rakeback deal which can give even the low limit player a nice extra source of income every month or turn a loser into a winner. You can see the prop-deal as some kind of great bonus offer that never ends.
