Multi Tabling

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Some people can be involved in more than one task at a time while some will find it very difficult. For instance, a housewife who is looking over a small baby, cooking and ironing clothes at the same time. Some will find it very hard to these this such that they would require the services of a house help. Similarly, poker players can play more than one game at a time, better referred to as multi tabling. Multi tabling in poker just means concentrating on not one table but several tables. Multi tabling is not easy and sometimes not the best kind of game to engage in, hence you need to consider some things before you start playing several tables.

Working on many different activities at the same time does not mean that you give your best as you may only be doing a rough work of each. When you multi table, there is the possibility that you are not playing as you should because you need to divide your attention between the various tables you are involved in. Poker is a game of wining or losing money and if you are going to play carelessly then your chances of losing money are high. Multi table only when you feel you can give your best at each table.

To be able to multi table, you will need to do a lot of practice and to get to know the game well. You may not have a lot of time to do enough practice due to involvement in other daily activities. Without practice, even playing one table will be difficult let alone many tables. You might loose dearly if you choose to multi table without enough knowledge and tactics in the game so I tend to that think sometimes multi tabling is not the best while playing poker.

When playing many tables at the same time, you become easy target to those who like exploiting others in the games, especially when playing with people who are only concentrating on one table. These people know that you need to keep up all the games with only one mind and chances are you might get tired somewhere so they wait to see you tire so that they get a chance to start winning.

You have to focus on every move you make while playing poker which is quite a challenge when dealing with many tables since you have less time to do that. Multi tabling should therefore be left to those with faster decision making abilities and those that are already experts in the game. Remember you can still play a single game and win so wait until you are an expert to start multi tabling.

How can you get paid as prop?

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Have you been playing poker for a while now and have been winning a great deal of money? Well, apart from winning, there are other ways in which you can make money through poker and that would be playing as prop. So you can get yourself a job by just registering for the game. If you think you can be an initiator, then this kind of job is for you as you will mostly be required to start up games. There is no salary you are going to get here but you will definitely be paid for your services. So how can you get paid for being a prop?

Sign up with a poker firm that has rakeback program for its players. This is because you need to pay in order to play whether you are a normal player or a prop. That way getting paid becomes easier as this start up fee you pay, better known as rake, is what the poker rooms use to pay you back. Normally, a percentage of your rake is used to get your daily, monthly or weekly earnings depending on the kind of poker room with some giving something below or above your rake while others give the whole of your rake money. This kind of payment is called rakeback.

 

Before you sign up too, make sure the firm accepts prop players so that you are sure of getting paid for your services. I am sure not all poker rooms accept props especially the more established ones that have a large number of audience and would not need propping. Do your search well to ascertain whether the company you are interested in has propping services before signing in. Otherwise, you may end providing free services.

In most cases, the providers of poker pay for prop services by direct deposit into your account after you sign out. So this is one way through which you can get paid for propping. Other sites may be having other methods of payment which you will do well to find out which one suits you before signing up with any. The best thing with propping is that whatever you get playing on the tables does not belong to the poker rooms just because they have employed you but it is entirely theirs.

The way you will be paid depends on how much you deliver hence the more time you take playing on the poker room the more you make. Make sure you love the game so that you can make more by playing as much as you can without tiring or getting bored. In most cases you make way above that which you paid hence propping can be a good way to earn.

Why does the poker room pay so much to props?

Thursday, April 16th, 2009


Sometimes in business, there comes a time when we have to re-strategize our marketing activities so as to take care of the inevitable stiff competition from time to time. We can do these by adopting new promotional techniques that would serve to encourage people to buy the products or services. In such cases we can say that we are propping up business. Hence there is the use of people called props or proposition players in poker. Props are used to attract customers by keeping the poker rooms busy. This too can be termed as a way of promoting the poker room and just like any other business where you have to pay some people to carry out some promotional activities for you; poker rooms also pay handsomely to props. So why does the poker rooms pay so much to props?

Poker rooms are in business and in business, you have to have customers at all times if necessary. When you sign in to a poker room and find that there is no one to play with, you may be tempted to sign out so the props are there to keep you company. They can help to start a game or liven up an existing one so people do not get bored and leave hence they need to be paid for their time.

Some of these props are very experienced players who are skilled and can easily earn a lot by playing as normal players. They use their expertise to start and maintain interesting games and they know how to leave the game when required to do so. By doing this, the props ensure that the poker room is always busy hence they need to be paid well.

When a game is doing badly in the poker room, the prop may be asked to leave whatever he/ she is doing to take care of it. The prop will have to do everything to make sure that the game comes up again. As a prop you do not just play any game you want but the poker room tells you which game to play so you do not have freedom to play the game that interests you like a normal player and that is why the poker room has to pay so much to a prop.

The other thing is that the props can multi table in the poker room. By playing several tables at the same time, they help to ensure that all the tables are running at all times. Props are not also entitled to such benefits as bonuses, the more reason why you have to be paid well when you are a prop. Propping can pay very well if you are interested.
