I’m on live poker hiatus right now, so there’s not much poker to report.  I have hit a nice little hot streak online and am up a few dimes in recent days.

I’m posting today for two reasons.  First, to ask anyone who plays online and is friendly with me or simply interested in a change of pace to give Lock Poker a try.  The move to the Merge Network was successful.  Traffic is not what it used to be, but there are still cash games and sit ‘n gos getting off constantly.  There is a lot of room for growth, and the people running the site are committed to making Lock a serious player in the industry.  The scheduled tournaments with guarantees frequently have overlays, so that certainly makes up for the smaller fields.  If you play low to mid stakes poker, Lock is a very nice option right now.

Also—and this is big—if you sign up through me you will receive 35% rakeback, which is a great deal.  You will also get a 100% signup/reload bonus up to $600.

The salary I draw from Lock Poker is directly tied to the amount of rake I generate, both personally and through referrals, so you’re doing me a favor by playing poker on there no matter how often or at what stakes.  Download and check out the new software to see if you like it:

Please contact me if you would like to know about deposit and cashout options on Lock Poker.

Another reason I’m writing something today is to mention the passing of a friend of mine.  Lee Jennings was one of the coolest people I have ever met.  She was a fan of mine; she was a reader of this blog and followed my career closely.  But I was a bigger fan of hers.  We shared interests and viewpoints and had similar tastes in music, humor and people.

She lit up every room she entered with her smile, wit and positivity.  I loved hanging out with her.  I’m heartbroken over my loss, her family’s loss, the world’s loss.

Rest in peace Lee.  At least you won’t ever witness LeBron James dribbling a basketball in a Miami Heat uniform.
