Layne Flack Pulls A No-show


Recommended Posts

this is off pokernewsUPDATE: Flack released a statement early on Saturday regarding the incident, which reads as follows:"I attended the Draw Party at Pure on Friday night and then met with my brother, who had flown into Vegas for Heads Up. I was under the impression that I was to play in the last bracket the next evening at around 8 pm. I was pulled over for speeding and refused a breathalyzer test as I have been instructed to do. I have no idea why I was written a ticket for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle. There were no emergency vehicles around, besides the police car. A test, given by the Las Vegas PD, later revealed that I had a blood alcohol content of zero. I also took a blood test, as I have nothing to hide. I was held for the mandatory six hours and released. I always go out of my way to not drink and drive. I regret that I was not able to play in NBC Heads Up and hope to be invited next year to play in this prestigious event."
Does not compute.

whats up with refusing a breathalyser test? i thought that just by driving a car you sort of consented to it already and it was illegal to refuse. of course if i was drunk i would refuse too since its obviously a lesser thing.

Well, legally speaking you are allowed to refuse. But, in many places it's an automatic suspension of your license or something along those lines.

Yes, if you refuse, it's an automatic suspension. When you sign the bottom of your license, it's not to verify your signature, it's you agreeing to all their rules. In the State of Florida, if you refuse, it's an immediate one year suspension, regardless of guilt.Lane is either lying or an idiot. You only refuse if you know you're guilty. Or so I've heard

The two aren't mutually exclusive.
That's the closest I've seen Bob come to dropping a bomb on someone. I wish someone would deliever the goods one what's up with Lane. Between that Lindgren High five video, the news that E-Dog dropped him as a backer, the Layne-Russ Hamilton golf outing, and now this, I get the feeling that Layne's stock has been higher than it is now in the poker world.

I don't know if I have mentioned this, but I suspect he is a rather large douche and everyone is growing tired of his vinegary smell.

I think what makes this guy so fascinating is that he is so multi-faceted. It is hard to say if it is because of the drugs and alcohol or if all of these facets draws him to drugs and alcohol.Mexi... that was just one of many clean-ups. Several years ago Daniel paid for one of Layne's rehab visits. Last Fall there was an article (I think in Cardplayer) how he cleaned his life up again. I met him once. He pretended he wasn't him... of course, I made this big deal.. "OMG! I am such a fan! etc.etc." Later on in the day he came over to me and started talking... he was really sweet. But when I said to him if you are not Layne then who are you, he stuttered, looked embarrassed and said "Tim." I just rolled my eyes and walked away. In hindsight, maybe I wasn't that nice to him. But anyway... he is definitely a character, has mad poker skills, is entertaining (I still think he is cute) but unfortunately has the worst demon of all to deal with... drug and alcohol addiction. And unfortunately, drugs and alcohol can make someone act like a douche.
Hey we get it. You find him hot. Many of us find women hot that are total skanks. We just don't try to explain why. :club:

I wonder If Lane decided last summer when he was flush with cash(tourney win then having Scotty as his horse in HORSE) thought it was a good idea to reimburse people who provided him with some support in the past which he obviously wasted
