The Grinder cuts ties with Lock poker

Michael Mizrachi no longer represents Lock Poker

Even the rats know that the ship is sinking. There is no way MM stayed on board team Lock for so long, and now decided to leave Lock, without Lock being very near collapse. Isn't Lock selling @ .11 now? I heard something very ridiculous like that the other day. Hell, maybe it is selling for cheaper now. I like the Grinder, but repping Lock poker makes me question his ethics.

i still get all my WU withdrawals in a timely fashion. what pros are still with Lock? is it just Melanie Weisner?

i find it interesting that black chip poker departed from the merge network. seems like theres a lot out there thats circulating in the industry about the future of this network.

There are still a decent number - I saw the list this morning but don't remember where. Annette Obersted was on it.

Sounds like his schedule is a very busy one in the video. He should be able to find another sponsor.

He is, AFAIK he's still their poker room manager. He was playing at some of my tables a few weeks ago.

If they ditch all the pros, maybe they will have more capital to pay players instead.

i like Lock, hope it sticks around

So exhausting hearing about lock situation every week. lol.

Do yourselves a favor, and treat LOCK money as if it is just fancy play money. Eliminates the stress.

Then play for pride.

i enjoy lock, i enjoy the rakeback, the VIP points exchange, i enjoy receiving my cashouts within 7 days. i simply do NOT leave a large roll on there

You get 7 day cashouts? How big are they? So they send small cashouts fast? How much is a large roll? Thanks.

Great question! How big are the cashouts? Please!

Really? I haven't heard of one person getting their cashouts quickly.

It happens from time to time. Lock has a long standing reputation for inexplicably cherry picking withdrawals to process lightening quick to try and keep the mutiny to a minimum. I think when people see the random person "winning the Lock lottery" and being pushed to the head of the line, they think next time it could be them so they play a little more and bitch a little less. I've been on both ends of that luck spectrum with Lock cashouts.

Sometimes you can also benefit from being involved in the right community or connected to the right people to get your cashouts processed faster.

Its the checks that take forever to get. Too bad they are going under, we just need pokerstars back. That would solve everything

It seems like Lock is hanging in there, but I am sitting on 60 bucks and even though were talking peanuts, if I go over 100- cash out before it all comes crumbling down

That says it all. If there are still people playing and believing in LockPoker, maybe this will change your mind. Personally I think that site will never get out of its money problems. It just gets worse and worse. As a matter of fact, I never heard of 1 site that went into financial problems and then get out (except for FT, that's a whole different thing )

I'm not a big fan of anything on that network anymore. I used to enjoy it all but now I could care less if it went away completely.
