Couple of days ago I was sent an email from Lock marketing saying my  acount had been given $75 free no catch no points building nothing, just here's $75 to play with. Great, I get logged in (first time in about 10months) and sure enough there is the cash.

 

Ok then, lets play i think. Only to find that the site is a ghost town – 600ish players online. All the tourneys have changed and the prizes real low GTD.

 

Is Bigdog still a pro there? Are US players no longer playing on the site?

there can't be a serious reg left on that site. id ont think daryl or bigdog have commented on their status, but i doubt it's much if any. i played the $109 they just had yesterday with the ticket everyone got…i dont think anyone in the field paid for it, and frankly im pretty sure that's another sign there isn't physical money on site. if only small field low buyins are running, they can't possibly have the money for free $109's. best recommendation is to not play.

Lock Poker is scam site now.  Taking new deposits wih no intention on cashing out.  It is play money.  I would suggest you both take some time and read the following thread from 2+2.

To my knowledge, Darly, Bigdog, Marc and others from TPE (former Lock Pros) have not commented on the recent dimize of Lock Poker (by resent I mean the last year).  But what would they say if they did?  I think they were fouled along with the rest of us.  At least I hope thats the reason for them silence.

Also note that 600ish players online is not true.  There is talk that they have rigged the counter to be more than it is.  One 2+2er  has gone on Lock and counted actual players at the cash and tourneys.  Does not even come close to the counter.
