Merby 3 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Are you sure that it wasn't David Oppenheim that was missing and that Layne Flack just showed up in a very good "Oppenheim" costume? Link to post Share on other sites
RickyG033 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Now Oppenheim will go on to win this thing...Isnt that how life works? Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 In fairness, I think layne has roughly the same chance of winning this event now as he did before he pulled the Vinny Vihn. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Ozzum, do me a favor?Stop changing your sig or at least host the images from the same place.

noflukeluke 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Does anyone know why he is still popular (at least enough for the invitational HU event)? He had two big scores in the last year, but before that he had pretty mediocre results for 3-4 years. He doesn't strike me as having that great of a personality, maybe a lighter version of Phil Laak. AND when he does stuff like his recent arrest, the Raw Vegas negative pub, and the incident with coming to the table at the 50K HORSE I don't understand why he is getting so many chances. I think he is way more of a negative for the poker world that should be swept under a rug, instead of paraded into invitational events. Link to post Share on other sites

And honestly i don't know what it is but i love layne flack. He just seems cool as hell. Obv from his DUI. He just seems like a guy you would want to chill with. idk Link to post Share on other sites
The Czar 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Shit, if you sweep every poker player under the rug with addiction issues and checkered pasts, see how many people you have left.I get this, but Flack is kind of a jackass. I'm tired of his overall act and this has little to do with his recent antics. I think he is an extremely childish, selfish person. I can't believe I took the time to type this, must be the Guinness.

EStormOk 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I still stand by my previous comments, I always have thought Flack was a bit of a douche. Link to post Share on other sites
noflukeluke 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Shit, if you only swept poker players under the rug with 'blah' personalities, 'meh' results, addiction issues and checkered pasts, you would still have 64 wonderful entrants for an invitational tourney.I'm just wondering what his upside is? What does he bring to the table? He seems to have a gift for the $1500 PL events at the WSOP, but other than that, his results don't look like they are scoring him the invite. Now that Phil Laak is around, he doesn't bring anything new personality-wise...Lots of people debate the merits of the invitees, and so he is just another one to lump in there, I am just wondering what made them think of him AT ALL?? I could understand if it was 2003, but I'm surprised in 2009.Eh, saw a few posts above, the 6 bracelets probably keeps him in the loop forever. Didn't think of that.Edit: I always think they (poker media) look to "star" names far after they've diminished. I remember that they showed when Amarillo Slim would bust out on the Main Event coverage for something like 4 years after the Moneymaker boom just because people recognized the name. Meh....I'm just bent, and I HATE people who get DUIs for personal reasons. Link to post Share on other sites

They generally tend to be scumbags on and off the tables. Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I remember Layne saying something to the effect that he enjoyed the "bad boy" image of poker and was sick of tv trying to clean it up and make the players look like bankers. I always kind of liked that about him. Link to post Share on other sites
