Yes, I have been asked to prop, but it's always games I'm not interested in, so I've always had to turn it down...

Edit: As for your exchange rates, I don't know if you mean pounds or Euros, but I think you're doing your math backwards.

Again, it doesn't matter though. Sit down and it will tell you exactly how many US$ are required to cover the buy in you are choosing.

[junYUN]

no the math isnt backwards...pounds are more valued than dollars so you would cut it in half (5/10 pounds = $2.50/$5.00 US)

[robthedlphin]

I think it should be 5/10 pounds= 10/20 US$. Because if a pound is worth $2 (it's more valued) then you would multiply by 2, not divide by 2

[junYUN]

you know what thats true

god i suck

(stop smoking weed plug here)

[PShabi]

me thinks me better stick to USD.

I've done a bit of propping here and there for them, never got anywhere near 1 hour, much less two. It can be a very good way to catch morons and take their money if you're good at headsup/VERY shorthanded play.

[GeoffM]

Not quite, 1 pound is worth about $0.54. If you used the link I posted you would know this .

Or, you could realize it doesn't matter. If a pound is worth 95 cents or 2 cents, you're still palying with chips. When you cash in and cash out, the conversion is the same, so it's a wash. Sit with the US$ amount you want to play with (however many pounds that may be), and then just play normal poker.

A basic awareness of the exchange rate would be a good idea for game selection (so you know what tables you want to play at), but once you choose a table, the conversion means nothing.

[GeoffM]

That is what I meant.

Rake is relative.

But if you are playing 1 lb./2 lb., or $1/$2, it's almost like playing $2/$4 if you are playing in pounds.

[Talking Poker]

Exactly.

[PShabi]

Yeah, but if you're a 5/10 USD player and sit down at a 5/10 euro table you're playing for twice the stakes. That was the point. Either way, this is becoming annoying.

I say we all take all of our money, start a $100/$200 private table, and just cap everything, winner takes all.

Can you tell "professional" play is making me fucking nuts?
