Lock Poker giving up, returning to the scene as "Superwins"?

[haleylh]

You're not even kidding.

Calvin Ayre reported years ago that Lock was being run from Jen Larson's condo when it first went up.

Not even a whiff of sarcasm.

Yep he was right, it was a cottage industry. From what I know of their commercial dealings..things like due diligence, capacity, ability were at best minimal. And that's me giving some benefit of the doubt.

It's kind of sad to realize that's where the poker industry sank to, post-UIGEA, when a person such as Larson was able to establish a strong US-facing toehold. For a few months there Lock might have been the largest US-facing site. While the PPA and I are likely to have another major disagreement very soon, I do agree that the Lock experience is a made-to-order object lesson arguing for proper regulation and legitimacy.
