He couldn't continue playing at pokerstars because they were closed in Denmark. After all the calculations, he owed 5490 dollars. He refused to transfer money under the pretext of a large commission for the exchange of currencies on pokerstars. We arranged a call and explained how to withdraw money with a good rate. After that, he refused to send us money to a bank account for various reasons. We asked to send money to our Neteller account. He agreed, but only on condition that he would not pay the commission.The administration of the pool agreed to this. We were ready to cover the commission out of our own pocket. As a result, he transferred $1,096 in early December and disappeared.

Total amount of debt: $4394

I started working with Zak in Octomber 2021 , saw his seeking stakes thread on 2+2 and decided to give him a chance
was very naive cause I didn't do a good research before making a deal with him.Saw that he was very active , posting a lot of hands , he was also coaching PLO players for microstakes ( tought this was even better and he must be a trusted member within the community )
*not sure how the mods/admins gave him permision to ask for backing since he was accused before of scams

In the beginning everything was fine , he ran hot and was winning at the tables + making decent amount from rakeback too. I would say the first 3 months everything was good and there wasn't anything bad to say about him. After those 3 months, his volume and effort started to decline and on every upswing he would hit me up and ask for a chop.I know this isn't how things are supposed to work, but at that time I wanted to make sure he is ok and does have everything he needs in order to not be stressed about money so he could keep playing and not worry about financial problems.We complained about players beeing much better and 200plo and that he felt overwhelmed when playing and losing a bunch at those stakes.Told him to drop down in stakes , from 200plo to 100plo if he loses 10bi because I wanted to decrease my risk ( assuming he always made cash-outs and at some point he will be in make-up , didn't want a huge pile of money to add up ), He agreed and continue to play.
On 15 February 2022 he was out of make and wanted a chop for 910/ 2 = 455 his share , however I wanted to help him again and offered to send another 500 on top as a "loan" or he would be 1k in make-up cause 455 is not a lot of money and since he has 2kids I can only imagine.
He took some approved shots at 200plo during 18-19 Feb ( weekend ) and clearly informed him if he lost 2k ( 10bi ) he would need to drop down to 100 again.
In 21 Feb he was -3962 in make-up ( 500 loaned to him so actual make-up at this point -2962 ) and +481 in RB
re-loaded his accounts and left him a message on discord wich he hasn't repplied to
between 22 Feb and 28 Feb he lost another -1194 and received 171 in RB

Since I saw he hasn't been answering on discord , tried to contact him on messenger/facebook and only the I found out he blocked me !
immediatly I knew he scammed me... it's unbeliveable that people never change and this shows he capable of anything when it comes to money. I looked a bit what type of games he played last week and he was playing PLO6 wich he hasn't studied and we agreed he would play PLO4/5. It's also really "strange" cause he lost a ton at one table of 1/2 and I belive he chip dumped/stole around 600$
Tried a bunch of times to reach out to him so he can explain or maybe come up with a plan to re-pay the money owed, but no. He even started applying to other stables and he's currently playing for somebody else NLHE ( obv the guy who backed him didn't knew anything ).

He was accused in these previous threads

Hey everyone, I am creating this post to warn other backers/stables/action buyers/ potential future employers or business associates about Slovenian poker player Ermin Zukić.

Winamax - pekoce1

We signed Ermin on a staking deal with a contract lasting 18 months which we had a written agreement on, on 07.10.2021. Ermin started at the lowest stakes and we helped him to move from playing $3 average buyin sit'n'goes to playing $10ABI tournaments in a short period of time. He struggled initially and had issues with the schedule so we did everything so we can accomodate his concerns and change it up so that he is happy.

Last we heard from Ermin in our business chats was approximately 3 weeks ago and he hasn't played a full session since, just a sporadic game here and there. He didn't show up to his weekly meeting or respond to our messages. We tried reaching out on Skype / Discord / Phone / Facebook and Twitter and his response was ghosting (not even seeing the messages) and shortly after deleting me from his friendlist.
Ermin is in $1790 makeup and has about $1500 of our money on his accounts and wallets at the point of his disappearance. I've eventually managed to reach him on Facebook, (6 days ago) where he even deleted me and he gave some bullshit excuse about his brother being at fault for what happened without explaining anything and saying he is gonna contact us on Skype on the next day so we can settle some monthly repayment.
We heard nothing from him again even tho I did another round of trying to reach him via different methods and he is ghosting us again.

I can confirm as somebody who worked with Ermin closely that he shouldn't be trusted with money and that his integrity is low, I hope any interested party finds this post useful.

Hey everyone, I am creating this post to warn other backers/stables/action buyers/ potential future employers or business associates about Norwegian poker player Raymond Pedersen Nielsen.

GG - fooooooldplz
PS.COM - fooooooldplz



We signed Raymond on a staking deal with a contract lasting 18 months which we had a written agreement on, on 11.01.2022. We agreed upon him starting as a Sit'n'Go player mainly and
then transitioning into MTTs as he proves that he is somebody who will work hard and study, which he made a promise on. He played for about 10 days and then without a warning or checking in with us, he started registering some MTTs with pretty high buyins compared to what we had agreed upon previously. (We had him play $3.5-$7 Sit'n'Gos and he fired a bunch of $33-$55 MTTs. We got in touch with Raymond and asked him to explain why he decided to change his schedule up without speaking to us and he couldn't give us a good explanation and eventually said that he made a mistake going into the staking deal and that he felt like this isn't something that's gonna work out for him in the long run. We agreed upon terminating the deal as long as he sent us the remaining balance + the standard buyout fee, which is % of his Makeup and is in the contract. After that we went on call he told us he just has to move some money around and he is gonna send us the money the following week and we agreed upon terminating the deal. This happened on 24.01.2022 and we haven't heard from him since, even though we made multiple attempts to get in touch. Raymond had $1150 makeup at the time when we terminated the deal out of which $300 on accounts and he owes us $260 more in terms of the buyout.


When we ended the deal he promised he is gonna do good on returning the money and that he wouldn't wanna fall out with us for $600, but he didn't make good on this promise either. I hope future potential backers/employers/business associates, find this post useful and avoid working with Raymond Pedersen Nielsen!

Basic gut-feeling I should have just went with - had a negative feedback on some romanian forum many years ago, but still fancied and still only had that had a bad gut feeling already - sometimes you shall actually got with your gut (especially in staking it seems). Shows, old-school-rule -> go with your gut!

Staked him for 300€ on Stars for O8 MTTs up to $11 /SNGs up to $5
Never updated properly, , played 10 games in 4 days despite saying he will do 500games/month.
Term is daily updates daily and the one day he played his numbers were also just made up)

Our last conversation:

PlzBeNice — heute um 00:30 Uhr
Mate sorry to ask this so early and I do not doubt you at all etc, but with new players I stake pls understand I am a little cautious
Would you mind sending me a screenshot of deposit of 300€ (on stars) and the roll on your stars account please?
Basically reason for me asking is for my own peace- you said 500Games/month and so far you played 10 games in 3 days, just for my own peace I'd appreciate that
If you had no time to play no worries at all, it's just obviously with new player I am obv. a little more catuious
[00:32]
Eg. if you could send ma one screenshot showing transaction history + roll (shown in lobby anyways) I will be very happy

PlzBeNice — heute um 02:09 Uhr
So you cannot show it to me or what is the problem? That you read the message can be seen

PlzBeNice — heute um 02:18 Uhr
I just mean if you ****ed up least you can do is be honest to me (this is at least my feeling) - you knew the terms and didnt report - first sign
500 games/month? you are so, so far from it
Then reading and ignoring my message, obv I cannot be anything else other than maybe paranoid
Next time your status changes (no matter if online or you go straight off, whatever) I will post it, jsut as notice, if there isnt an explaination (Bearbeitet)

PlzBeNice — heute um 02:27 Uhr
Tell me if I shall just post report, I have it all written already
[02:27]
I also know you read this already


Just a warning for now (I hope this clears up but I do not believe in it), DNS!!!!!

Also be cautious about if you stake anyone with Catana in surname ( I saw on FB there are loads, even in his city, so be aware)

Just goes to show staking people randomly over the internet (unless you are a stable, then you can afford the loss) outweights the gain). All you are left with is the disappointment in himanity, especially if the dude can't even come up with an excuse.

I got notified Ionut/ProKatana has received pm's from guys here.

I already reported the post and pm'd a mod to delete this post.

The player was just afk (while Discord status changed many times during the night, but yes this might happen automatically), this morning he sent me an explaination and also provided all screenshots I asked for (deposit of 8th march showing the amount he was sent on skrill, as well as funds in account).

I personally did this post being paranoid and having had a drink too much last night. This was purely my bad. All that happened was me and him had a little sloppy start which led to me a few things not adding up, but we do just continue as usual now and he has proven that all financials have been handled they should have so far.

I ask everyone to not pm him anymore and hope a Mod can delete both this post and the one of last night ASAP. Thanks

Given that last week I tossed him a $140 stake as well, I would say there is a potential issue and your gut feeling (with or without booze) was correct!

Now, to be fair I did tell the one other person who invested (two others passed) that this one felt like it made no sense and a good 50/50 chance it was just a person who was now scraping what he could to gambool. Usually I pass on these but it has been a long time (over a year) since I got in a spot to post in this thread and I had a few good weeks so I probably said yes when I normally say no. No idea how much you set on fire as you did not mention it, but I lost a whopping $140. I will try to find a way to get over it and move on, though I will be mocked by the person who passed that also did point out that 11 year old negative feedback which I had not found before setting a bit of money on fire (it had no details though and the dude played 40,000 games since, so oops, my bad!) I hope you did not lose much on this, and yes - always go with your gut, even if you are riding a good run! Total financial carnage was $200 (another invested $60 in the initial $200 stake).

If this dude wins at the tables this week and wants to do a profit chop - who will he be chopping with! I suspect both of us (and anyone else that tossed him hopefully a small amount) will not have to worry about that much at this point.

Edit: saw you lost 300 Euros. Yikes. Guess you thought he could beat games I did not. The bankroll on our end ($200) was sent just over a week ago, so guessing he got my money before yours! I will still split any chops with you that he sends to us...

Well that's a bummer, thanks for your post though. I can assure you the only money left in the account is mine, what actually happened to yours, I don't know. Between 5th march and 8th there were small deposits before my original stake was sent and the amount in the account also adds up relatively well to his results on Sharkscope since (I have screenshots).

Also FWIW I got pm'ed by him asking if I am still staking on march 7th.

Expensive lesson learned then

The money sent from us was on March 4th. No idea why you think the money in his account is only yours, nor do I really care, since the odds of any of it being returned are about 0 give or take 0, but tell you what - I will sell you the $200 we sent for $20 then he can owe you $200 plus 300 euros as all of both of our money sent will technically be yours then.

An update on this situation. ProKatana contacted me after these posts and indicated he had messaged me days ago and sent back the Skrill days ago. There were no messages on Skype as he indicated, and then he told me he sent them to the wrong person. The Skrill was received early on March 13th (after these posts here) even though it was apparently sent 4 days ago and Skrill transfers are instant.

In the end the money was returned. I suspect it was a simple case of a player forgetting about stake 1 when he got a better deal and when he saw these posts he realized he had not sent back the original stake. A weird but honest mistake. No idea why tales of messages to wrong people on Skype and 4 day long Skrill transfers were needed to try to pretend it happened days earlier if it was just an honest and weird mistake, but since that is the story still being told to me (despite my attempts to suggest it has a more rational and understandable set of events) - I will post that.

Given that the money was returned, there are no further financial or business issues with me, and I wish the player and his backer best of luck in the future.
