I'm active player on lock and I rarely run into a fish. (Bad Player) All I see is tight, good players. I can't make that much money play against goodies.
Maybe I just play when the fish are sleeping. Any Lock Player recommend the best time to play to see the fishes.

Except for that guy called fish, that 12 tables. He's supper aggressive and dangerous e to play against. Do my best not to play against him.

Lock segregates the fish. Also gtfo if you can, Lock is insolvent and about to collapse.

They got rid of fair play, supposedly they segregate now past 100nl, but it seems that has also changed with their last update. I honestly believe lock is fishy as hell.

I've been crushing Lock... scared about the cashouts... Really hoping they don't go down before I get at least some of the money I have in my account.

Lock is one of the easiest sites on the face of the Earth. There are maybe 2 others softer, and I won't mention them because they are my fish not yours :)

You have to sell your money for .35 if you are lucky. Most ppl exaggerate it say if you are selling your money .35 on the dollar, then a 100NL game is really a 35NL game, but most ppl lose their money and will never cash out anyway. The games are still super soft, still not as soft as they were a while back before this cashout fiasco got worse. I think the fish gave up on it too and the ones left are the guys that won the money and have no way to cash it out.

There's really no Fish on Lock, but there's a lot of what I call russians, which are people who bluff too much lol. It's easy to make money off them by just calling them. The most donkeys I see are the cheap $1000 for $2 buy in tournaments. They don't care because of the unlimited rebuys.

The field is being getting a lot tougher on Lock. A lot of staked regs playing these days. Also the cashout delays don't help either.

Why are people still talking about lock. I don't get it. They don't pay, so why play there. (I don't consider getting paid months and months later, getting paid).

LOCK has plenty of FISH...and, they should go 'belly-up' cause they won't payout requested withdrawals. Had a request in for over 3 months and have not heard a word, but the money is 'tied-up' and can't play with it.

Reference RULE #1: If you think they are 'bluffing', they are not.

Your comments sound a bit "fishy' too...hope to see you on the felts soon...calling what you think are bluffs can often be very costly.

that's dumb, you do realize lock is insolvent and I don't know who would stake anyone here to play lol. I would get my money out of that program ASAP and come play where the fishys are. But don't stay for to long and complain when its to late.

Hey folks, Long time-no chat. I've been playing at Lock for little ovr a year and I've cashed out once, last Nov. I've been thinking about cashing out lately but where the fk do I go from there? The more I read this thread the more worried I'm becoming about a cashout. I noticed the GTD trny's aren't paying like b4, either. The main reason I even play there is for the rake-back.
So what exactly is going on at Lock Pkr? Are they set to meet an untimely demise? And if so what online site (a non-subscription site) is really worth it? I can't keep a connection at any of the Merge sites so they're basically out of the question. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thnx guys.

The good news Lock is paying out, it is just incredibly slow. The bad news prepare to wait 3+ months for a cashout. Things seem to be getting worse, they left the biggest poker forum in the world. They now have their own private forum, where everything is so heavily moderated, basically if there is anything derogatory pertaining to lock, they will prevent the post or thread from becoming live.

I from what I've seen would suggest Bovada, I haven't played much on WPN but the games seem much tougher, and the games are comprised of nothing but regs. Bovada on the other hand while anonymous (major drawback) is probably the softest room available.

Lock poker is fun for me because it's mostly a lot of crazy bastards who shove all their money in with anything over 10.

In general this place is a total fish bowl, but I can see a lot of good regs also in the 100nl games.
If you are having trouble maybe consider dropping down for a bit cause they are swimming for sure.

Some players are on a different skin, and will all the rumors and doubt circling this site I guess some people still believe they will get the $ even after some delay.
