Re: Unsolicited Staking IM
if you do this 10000 times, the other player will never cash in the tournament.
if you have to think for more than 10 seconds about whether this is a scam and if you should block the other guy, just give up life now. its so obvious, even if you don't see how the scam works.

Re: Unsolicited Staking IM
I didn't see what the scam was. Just seemed like an odd offer as I didn't recognize the guy. If he told me that he had seen me place in some prior tourney or played a bunch of sngs or cash games with me, I may have agreed. It just seemed to me like he was trolling.

Oh and there are some juicy games just over the border in lovely East Chicago Indiana(by lovely I mean smelly wasteland and by Indiana I mean Hickville)
