Layne is an avid and addicted poker player. I have been in some ring games and in a $500 buy-in tourni in Seattle with him ... he is a fun guy to play with, but, as mentioned earlier, he is loud and easily upset. He does like to drink. He put back 7 beers in about 3 hours of play, it was surprisingly pitiful. Flack does not use illegal drugs, but he is addicted to pain killers.
