I don't know the OP but users interested could maybe offer to escrow their money, he may be willing to do that if he wants to make some business here.
I am more into other type of games like roulette and football (soccer) betting, I do not know much about poker, I appropriate what you said.
@SkyGamer, never mind what I have said, just that there are many newbies on this forum with approaches to scam, you may not have the intention.
You can make the opening pst more professional, this will reduce doubts too and you can clearly include that there will be escrow involved, this will help you to to let people not to think that you are here to scam.
