the first ten pages kinda sounded to me like this :

"awww , you poor dumb thing. you're so stupid crazy i cant help but feel sorry for you. aw, how pathetic.. almost like a dog with three legs... ya know what hunny, buck up! i'll ship you 100 bucks on stars to get you on your feet, but a purty little delicate thing like you ought not be in such a nasty place as this. leave poker to the men, darlin. you dont belong"


(thats what it seemed* like)

True, on the first 10 pages there were some skeptics. But weren't those the ones that ended up being closer to correct?

I was one of the gullible ones that totally believed her story. I was thinking how could these other people not believe her? What has she ever done to not be trusted?

I don't feel like going back and seeing when the tide was turned. But how can you blame so many people when you look at how many of use were duped? Now I'm not saying that her side was complete crap. I suspect, like many times, the truth lies in the middle.

That was just the Captain Tom story. There have been more than a couple more where it starts as one thing and the truth comes later. After a while you lose all your credibility.

Now I'm not going to sit here and suggest she should quit poker and never be seen again. After all the other fiascos I've seen in poker there's one thing I know for sure; it's that the poker community is VERY forgiving. I dare not bring up examples because it might derail this thread.

But for her to get on the road to recovery she might want to take some of that 2k-200k money and hire a life coach. Then the next time she's interviewed she won't come off extremely bad. (yes I'm serious)
