This player started with us back in February of 2014. He was being staked for $30-60 hyper-turbo HUSNGs.
After avoiding almost all coaching help we give our players despite our regular pushing and him needing reloads, he emailed us after a few months and said:
"i can t do this anymore...i had it... i quit poker for good...i am so stressed out it interfeares with my job and evem my family told me i should stop...
i m sorry i whished this would have turned out a different way but i just can t play one hand of poker anymore
i sent you the picture so that you know i did not take any money
good luck in poker and in life"
He sent back the $1,000 that was in his account while still leaving us with $3,500 worth of makeup. He also had immediately removed us as a skype contact and refused to respond to any of our emails.
We continue to track players that quit in makeup and saw that he started playing again in Oct. We emailed him to try and sort out having him come back to play to repay the makeup he had left. Although he agreed to, he never really started grinding. Shortly after this, Pokerstars increased their rake on hyper-turbo HUSNGs and Eugen emailed us this in response to that increase;
"buddy if you ever see me playing on that ****ing thief site i will give u every money i have"
We continued to track him and saw he started playing again. We contacted him on Skype and he basically told us that we shouldn't bother staking him because he would just lose our money. We decided to cut ties there.
We also later found out that during some of the time he was backed for us he also was backed by another staking group. As we found this out rather late, we never brought it up to him.
He has now blocked his results on Sharkscope.
I wanted to post this in case he decides he wants to look for a new staking arrangement in the future. He is an unreliable stakee and should not be staked again.
