Many of you only see the worst in laynes behavior. He is one of the funniest tongue in cheek charecters in the world of poker. Layne is a force at any table and if the rumors you post are true about his personal life, they are still about his life, so back off of him, I have played with him all over montana, and love the way he gets players emotionally involved in the game through banter. Layne is a great player and one of the luckiest people in the game, when he's hitting he is a buzz saw. Give him the respect.
