Seems like the Pro's have quit, they're not wearing the lock brand anymore.


spin away shane

Rogue site, what do you expect

FYP

FatalError, do you have a source for this?

i'm at the wsop and 5 out of 5 pros not wearing them i've seen

You should ask them why they are not wearing the patch.

Certainly does not have to mean that they have quit. Lock could give them permission to not wear the patch if they don't want to...so as to not subject them to a bunch of questions and/or taunting that they would wish to avoid. Something like that. Or they don't have to wear it while the storm is still brewing (remember that Lock insists they will be fine and are supposedly getting through this).

However, it's also entirely possible that other pros have quit Lock WITHOUT making the public declaration about it that the other recent players did.

Are those players still listed on the Lock website? If so, then it seems entirely possible they have not quit.

Indeed, it seems more responsible to actually ask one of them why they are not wearing a Lock patch....then to just assume that they quit. Sure, it's possible that they quit. But there are a whole host of other explanations as well. The players themselves would know better than you or me.

Maybe Lock just couldn't afford to buy the patches.

Of course they aren't wearing the patches at the WSOP being signed by a US facing room.... ugh!....

I don't think this has anything to do with them not wearing the patch

Maybe yes, maybe no Vic.

I posted a Q for Shane in the Q&A thread regarding info about Lock missing on the pros twitter and fb accounts as well as them not having promoted the major sunday tournaments for the last two weekends.

I know Mel, Anette and Cazey and Co. all used to have "LockPro" and their aff link on their twitter profiles but those have been recently removed by them.

Lock Poker bust [ x ]

They can't.

Don digged it up again

Not exactly earth shattering news considering circumstances. I mean shane didn't disclose Portugal location for security reasons makes sense wouldn't wear for same reason right shane? All the lock pros should invite legions of lock fans to white castles.

To me, this is more interesting and potentially more damning.

Annette and Casey are still listed among the pros on the Lock site though. Jungblutt and the other 2 (forget their names) aren't there anymore I think.

So it does not look like Annette and Casey have officially quit.

Perhaps it is more along the lines of the pros having the option to remove the Lock stuff from their own personal pages while the mess supposedly gets sorted out. Basically, Jen bargaining with her players to keep them aboard and somewhat comfortable.

Players: "Hey, we're not sure we are comfortable directly sending players to your site via a link on our pages when you have not been able to pay them."

Jen: "Look, we are going to get this straightened out. Trust me as I gaze sympathetically into all of your eyes and souls. But we want you to have confidence in our organization and we understand you being concerned right now. We will allow you to pull any and all Lock logos and links and language from all of your pages as we work to improve our situation....and we won't tear up your contracts or anything. It's up to you. As we said before when you signed up...how much you promote us is still somewhat up to you. "


That seems more likely to me than multiple players all revolting and pulling the stuff from their own pages without any permission at all...while not officially quitting and still technically being Lock pros.

this

oh snap

What microbob said here is basicly what I was thinking as well, especially given recent controversy and lock claiming they were getting their crapola together.

'Players: "Hey, we're not sure we are comfortable directly sending players to your site via a link on our pages when you have not been able to pay them."'

LOL

Lock proS ffs
