[Beta Testing] paktPot - A secure tool for poker deals & swaps (Built by a former pro)
Hello 2+2 community,
This is my first post here, and I am well aware that self-promotion on account creation isn't the best look. However, I wanted to share something I've been working on with the community that shaped my early years.
I am a former poker pro. I retired a little over 10 years ago to transition into software engineering. Recently, I decided to bridge the gap between my past life and my current career by building a tool for grinders.
The project is called paktPot. It’s a clean, web-based platform designed specifically to secure poker deals, backing agreements, and tournament action swaps. Instead of relying on verbal agreements, messy spreadsheets, or sketchy DMs, you can create a secure pact and invite players/investors to lock it in instantly.
To be completely transparent, while the beta is 100% free, I do plan on introducing a paid model down the road once the core product is validated. Right now, I am strictly at the validation and testing stage. I need real active grinders to test the tool, give me feedback on the user experience, and ensure the security holds up perfectly.
You can check out the project and join the waiting list for the beta here: www.paktpot.app
Any feedback on the landing page or the concept itself is highly appreciated. If you have a few minutes to help me beta test it, please reply to this thread or send me a PM.
Thank you for reading, and good luck at the tables.

So I'm in the coin poker 215$ 1mil Gtd on the 12th what do I need to do to well some action?
Sorry for the late reply, I missed the date! How did the $1M Gtd on CoinPoker go? Hope you made a deep run.
To be completely honest, your question made me realize a gap in my current MVP. Right now, I built paktPot primarily to lock in private deals between players who already know each other (like direct 1-to-1 swaps). I didn't initially optimize it for public selling where you post on a forum to find backers.
But you're 100% right—publicly selling action is what grinders actually need.
Because of your comment, I'm going to add a "Public Offer" feature with a reputation link (Sharkscope/Hendon) so for your next big shot, you can just drop a paktPot link here or on X, and let people claim pieces until you're sold out.
If you want to check out the current landing page and drop your email, I'll make sure you get early access as soon as the public selling feature is coded: https://www.paktpot.app/
Bonne chance with your app.
bcs still is not in charge, a little explanation, if backing is 1on1 between friends, why they should use app?
p.s. maybe I didnt get clearly
And if you are long period already in that world, can you help at least with info, I need backing for one of biggest, maybe even biggest event this year in Europe, in Rozvadov, King's Million EPC in September/October. In January's Dutch Poker Masters, as a chip leader of Day 1, I secured ticket for Super Main Event 5 Million GTD, whole festival 10M GTD. As I have one bullet, maybe need just sponsored trip/hotel, but would be much better to have for more bullets, at least satellites and bounties.
I have experience grinding for tables 15+ years, but played unofficial cash games that cost me a lot, but there is no loss, only lessions.
Before January I played 3 tournaments and I won 3.
So how I grinded for smoked real tables, didnt live online world, didnt use much social medias, and in my envoirment there is not serious, is very hard for me to find answers and support.
