>>Also, lets point out that a shill does NOT put any money into the pot other than the regular ante or blinds depending on the game being played. They are playing with the casinos money & are just there to fill a seat.<<

In Colorado, a shill can bet all the way through a hand. I don't think any Colorado casinos are using shills today. There are enough people willing to play as props that they don't need shills.
