Covered about 10 pages ago. Claims he didn't

This is pretty lame. Why do you think it's a defense to say you accused him of lying really early before anything was known? It's stupid to accuse someone right off the bat unless they have a reputation.

I don't understand why a couple people wanted to jump in right away and say "Liar!" but this is an awfully weak way to backpedal from it. This is why you keep your mouth shut if you really don't know anything. It's the internet, so you can even yell it in your home if it satisfies you, then you can refrain from prematurely posting it.

Gotta love the poster that claims the guy open folded all his hands to collect rakeback...

I've heard some stupid **** on these forums but thats gotta be a contender for ******ed post of the year.

I'm going to fold 5,000 hands in a row and then claim it was a glitch...and I'll get like $50 in rakeback at the end. Score!!

ya buddy! its as easy as that! haha just kidding obv, go thru hell and writing pms everyday and posts everyday explaining yourself ! hahah

anyway shane was persistent with lock support and I received the money tonight, thanks to rizen and shane.

even though shane never seemed to change his opinion at least he did his job in a fair way and hes a loyal guy to the lock poker site. He continually sent emails on my behalf and made it happen in the end, thanks for everyones support.

Glad things worked out for you.

Understandable that people can be sceptical on a poker forum but some of the people giving the OP are hard time were being a bit ridiculous imho.

lol i called OP a liar on like page 3 and now everyone is bashing me. I don't care. maybe I deserve it.

Maybe OP is telling the truth. Maybe not. He got his money back, everyone wins.

Oh no my 2+2 reputation is tarnished. That such a bad beat. I'm not into staking here, I'm not here to make friends, I don't really care. I'll be the bad guy ITT - that's OK.

A lotta people are pissed at Lock for some pretty legitimate reasons, ie the casino bonus thing, but that hate carries over in some ways that aren't merited.

A bold claim was made by OP. A lot of limit hands have been played on Merge and this hasn't come up a lot before, so the burden of proof was on OP. Obviously, he made his case well enough to get paid, so mission accomplished. All the 'haterz' and 'doubters' (including me) were shot down. Opps. Too bad so sad. My flame/troll post was simply a response to him sending me unsolicited PMs...I don't really want to get a bunch of PMs from him, it's not gonna help his case, I don't run Lock.

So everyone on 2+2 can keep quoting my earlier posts and saying "look at this jerk, he called OP a liar, and OP probably was telling the truth" - that's fine, perhaps I deserve it. "Backpeddling"? Whatever - I don't care.

So good job OP. You got your money. And now everyone can keep on hating Lock for signing tmay, screwing people on casino bonuses, and world can keep on spinning.

Horrary.

^^^I don't think people would have "bashed" you if you didn't jump to conclusions and called the OP a liar. Look before you leap.

pms or pm? dont make things up sir, u already did enough of that ITT, it was 1 pm and it was well deserved

lol let's keep this thread going for another 13 pages

^^^bump

cliffs...

OP presents a weird situation that appears like a bug and def does not seem like it's worth the time to be a scam

OP gets slammed by a few people needlessly before they check the facts in a solid fashion

OP has been playing for 8 years and tons of tourneys, has won hundreds of thousands of dollars and doesn't use HEM or know what merge keys is. wow!

Lock support fails to reply via email.

Shane and Rizen step in.

Lock devlopment comes back (via Shane and RIzen) with a plausible explanation but it doesn't really fit here since OP is being truthful about not using tools.

the click auto fold key answer is sketchy and doesn't seem to work.

OP convinces the rational people in the forum that he's telling the truth.

It's a bug on the server or the client. Impossible for anyone to prove either direction since it can't be recreated.

Merge development handled this properly as they checked their logic and processes and couldn't find anything. And they logged the call/issue for future reference.

Rizen works to get OP his vault credited for the $250

OP receives the $250 credit. Kudos to Lock for doing the right thing (can't fault them for accepting guilt as you can't tell where the problem lies)

Airborne is out of line.

scratching head wondering what OP is using to track his play online

Good thread...

I didn't feel airborne was so out of line.

At least he helped Op get focused by asking tough questions. The hysterics over $250 was a bit over the top.

When did Op thank posters who researched sharkscope and brought some clarity? Maybe I missed that.

I'll give you another $250 if you tell me what I "made up ITT"

What did I make up?

I said like on page 3 "lies ITT imho"

you flipped out and cried and PMed me message telling me how wrong i was

I said, maybe you're telling the truth, maybe not, i don't care

I write a post saying - good job op - you got your money back - win win let's move on

which brings us to now

so let's argue for another 13 pages

mutha ****a BUMP and I'll bump everyday til this thread is closed

lol

+1
Its not every day someone makes hundreds of thousands of dollars playing poker yet is a self admitted computer novice. He also spent a lot of time over the course of a week seeking a refund for a couple hundred bucks. Airborne was skeptcal. Big deal.

Op stated he degened off like 50 k or something in the pit in a few hours in another thread. His persistince over this 250 was peculiar. It is a true story, but it started out a bit odd.

And the way it ended answers nothing.

When I say out of line I am referring to his posting of the PM not necessarily the other stuff

And I should say was out o line not is out of line

His last post was pretty funny though


And

i thought i closed the kitchen window before leaving the rent on the sill; but low and behold, the next morning when i woke up the wind had blown it away. I think the neighborhood watch should have to reemburse me for it...also, i kinda want a new big screen; so, i'm expecting another faulty latch and gale strength gusts at the end of the month.

why? this makes absolutely no sense. Why would he "time out" as opposed to fold to the blind bet posted by someone else...not even getting into the allegation that it could possibly be a "glitch." I'm not saying who's right who's wrong but to blindly not investigate the possibility that theres a "glitch" (even as difficult to swallow as those of us familiar with merge software may believe possibl, lol) is just frick'in rude.

To be fair, I've done some pretty bone head things; I am an average Joe, and I've been taken care of each time. With that being said, I've also obviously read of other situations where that seems to not be the case...but who really knows. What I do notice on a lot of these threads is a total aura of complete distrust, which given the current American climate & the past year is a bit understandable. Shame on us when we surrender our "good wills" & "good intentions" to a climate of self-protection, distrust and self serving.

I like reading what Micro Bob has to say in general and feel for the new guy trying to jump in here and try to help....but, frustrated or not, he might heed some of the posters' advice to tune up his "cust svc" skills a tad.

At least it appears he's trying hard, just give him some time.

Every time i've done that, it has a pop up asking me if i'm sure i wanna do that 'cause i've got xx amount of free hands before my blind

airborn always jumps to conclusions and calls people a liar. ban that fool mods

Hey scumbag - thanks for sticking your nose in here, that reminds me I've got to bump all 7 threads in here and the zoo laying out the case in detail how you're a trolling, lying, colluding, cheating scummy piece of trash.

Thanks, almost forgot to bump those this week

Actually he usually is quite helpful in answering most peoples questions that are usually overlooked by many...albeit, he does have a "unique" way of wording things, lol.

To be fair though, he openly admits his "sense of humor" and did in fact apologize.

Don't recall you ever doing that although I'm very curious as to why you haven't been banned

This happened to me on lockpoker as well.. I left a 50nl table on, came back a while later and was $50 shorter in my acct. I don't use any programs like tableninja or anything, and did have autopost on.. I thought, how stupid that lockpoker doesn't sit people out automatically, as I was brand new to the site.

However, later on when I tried to replicate, it sat me out.

The "persistent fold to any bet" bug is very real, and happening on my table RIGHT NOW. I'll be posting screenshots, and video of the bug in action as soon as my session is over. If any reputable member of the community and/or mod and/or Lock rep wants to TeamView my screen or something before I'm done, I'd be happy to show.

It's happened on not one of my tables, but TWO this session. One went away when I was moved to a new table, but I'm still at the second one for now. This is ridiculous.

edit: Just got moved, gone now. Screens/vid coming soon.
