Hey folks,

Something weird happened to me while I was playing.
A guy started to talk to me, asking if I was pro or just playing for fun etc and asked for my skype address.
He said that he had something to talk to me about. Before giving him anything I asked him what he was about.

He said he is a backing man looking to get a team rolling. He said that the deal would be that I would play with his money and I get 60% of the profit and he would get 40%.

Anyway, just wanted to know if any of you knew something about that kind of stuff.
It feels like a big scam (why would he get players on NL20?, why me etc...) but I wouldnt miss a chance like that if you see what I mean.

He said that a friend of his that plays NL400 is going to check my (and of other people) Hand history to check how I am playing.

Anyway that is fecking weird so I would appreciate any advices on this.

Hmmmm, maybe a dataminer trying to get his hands on HH? I've never heard of this before, so be wary.

I heard of this before but at much higher stake as you said. This does sound like a dataminer thing.

Lots of scam story on 2+2 you should check them out.

You mean that he will ask me to send him my Hand History for review and just use it for datamining.
Yep indeed that sounds logical - dont see how he could review my hands otherwise.

sounds odd tbh. If it involves your own cash, avoid imo.

If you want to get staked, and have records you are a winning player I can give you details of a site that can help you and it's all above board, and dedicated to staking.

I'd urge you to ignore this though. :)

If he wants to know how you play tell him to check your PTR summary.
