6PoundPoo is on a distinguished road
Background.

I play 1c/2c and 1p/2p heads up and table select / bumhunt.

have been doing so for 4 months and am running up at 25bb/100 according to poker table ratings (although I have won a lot mroe than it reports I have)

Was sitting down waiting and somebody sits down and says, " I know you do not play me, but are you interested in staking"

We had a chat and he says he plays for run but stakes for money.

He said its no strings attached and I have nothing to lose, and to email him if I am interested.

He says he is aware I bumhunt and thinks it can work at 50nl although confirmed I would have to wait longer to bum into the right players. That chap seemed genuine and had correct spelling / grammar etc.

I am interested but also wary as have heard about people getting hacked or stolen from etc.

I am thinking about contacting him using an email addy not linked to my poker account.

What are your thoughts and how would it generally work, RE transfers etc

Thanks

6PP

Edit, I did have correct BR to play 50nl myself, but had to withdraw as I have recently moved house and I needed money off the table.

Recently started again and have gone from £15 to £100 in 5 days

Black is for blacks. Go to the beach for a week, then put it all on red.

Can you lvl him into shipping you the stake before you guys agree on anything? I mean, he's just going to use the money for run regardless...

If you're bad, people might start bumhunting you off of these stats.
