Pass For a Prop ( poker )

In a no-limit lowball game, when a player is faced with a raise, and wants to gamble alone with the raiser, usually involving a proposition like two-for-one, but there are other players to act after the player, in some clubs the player is permitted to pass for a prop, and then, if the other players do not call the bet, can negotiate a proposition with the raiser. If any other player calls the bet, usually the player who so passed is required to drop; furthermore, if the raiser does not wish to accept the proposition, the passer must also drop. For example, in a $4-to-go no-limit lowball game, Harry opens with A-joker-2-K-K. Sally and Bob call. Walt raises $35. Harry does not fold, nor does he call the raise. Instead he says, "Pass for a prop." Sally and Bob now both fold, and Harry tosses the two kings, saying, "Two-for-one?" Walt throws a card among the discards, and says, "You're on." (Walt can, of course, also offer a counter proposition. He may say, "For all of them," and stick his whole stack in, which means, essentially, "I'll break this hand, but only if we both put all our chips in the pot." At this point, either Harry agrees, or dumps his hand.)
