i, I’m new to 2+2 and I have a doubt about my banker. I’m a 2/5 player and I have a banker but the deal seems quite off to me so I want your Opinions.

The deal consists in 50-50% deal with makeup, only for cash game. The thing is that he is telling me that I have to first win $5,000 so we can split winnings starting from there every week. What this really means is that he puts the money in and I first have to make a $5,000 bankroll. I’ve done it so if I have this $5,000 bankroll, if I win $2,000 in a week, we would split $1,000 for me and $1,000 for him, but I still have to maintain that bankroll intact, he argues that if the deal ever ends we would split that bankroll for halves. The problem is that if I end up loosing $1,000 in a week, now I have a $4,000 bankroll so in order to split any winnings I have to first get that 1k back so I can have the 5k and then we can start making profit again. This feels as if I have always a $5,000 plus makeup, besides the makeup if I end up loosing that bankroll. He argues that this is like an insurance, but i think it’s pretty unfair for a 50/50 deal, I hope I explained myself and hope you guys can help me

If you are actually profitable at 2/5 then grind it until you have a roll of your own. Play 1/2 if needed. Why do you want to be in a spot whereby you either give up half of what you win if you're up, or all of what you win if you're down?

Then why did you take this deal?

If you agreed to this prior then you have nothing to complain about and if you didn't then you should tell him to go **** himself.
