Never Trust Anyone

[prodonkey]

Shouldn't this thread be in BBV? I know if Captain Tom's penis and old balls touched me that would be a bad beat.

I'm really shocked no one asked for a graph, or gave her the wrist slitting pic, it's down the street not across the road.. I couldn't find that picture [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I wonder if Captain Tom invented huggling?

Brandi,

Turning to a bunch of twenty year old poker male players for help is a bad idea....you will only be re victicmized here. I understand how things can spin out of control fast and the shock and trama of situations make it hard to react in a healthy way. I know why you stayed so long, I get it. Now that you are out of his contol, it's time to get some help and deal with what has happened. It's sad to say but most women who have been victimized are doomed to repeat scarey situations until they "get it" Figure out your issues with your dad and get healthy. Posting here will not help but at least you are starting to ask questions that will....

I'm 36 and there are many other 30+ y/o around here.

Posting this just might help. For every jerk making a lame comment there might just might be some helpful advice/comfort as well.

You might want to rethink telling her what is is/isn't wise. Posting here could possibly save her life.

You might think I'm being a jerk here. That isn't my intent. just wanted to let you know that some of us are trying to help and have no other intentions.

I agree with nicks dad there are real people on this forum who mwould like to help.

[prodonkey]

So either go to the cops and say he sexually assaulted her.. or don't.. and let it go.. those are the 2 options as I look at it. What other help does she need?

Maybe I can solve the Iraq situation after lunch.

I'd like to make a valid point ~ I am making a serious claim against a well known pro in the industry. If what I am saying is not true, I could be sued and charged with slander. I assure you that I am not making this up.

For the past two months, I have been desolate and depressed. I've waited around. Tried to go about things in a discreet and classy way. Very few people knew of this. But after so long of nothing changing and no hope, I had to come out with what had happened.

Unfortunately, it has not been good. I've already been blacklisted and lost some who I have thought were my friends. But if they were really my friends, they would have stuck by me. I'm at a place now where I have nothing left to lose. My money is gone. My car is gone. My reputation with people in the industry is gone.

There is an overwhelming need from others for me to sweep this under the rug and forget about it. But I cannot do that. What happened to me was wrong.

I could have told you a different story. I could have lied and said that I did not try to make him happy by at least "huggling" with him. Yet I did not do that. I was a hundred percent honest over what has happened.

They say that depression is anger turned inwards. Tonight was the first time, I have not been so depressed.

I'd like to ask a question of those accusations that I am a hustler... Who exactly have I hustled? I may have made one stupid post, but I have not taken anyone's money here. I have not lied or made promises to people in order to swindle them out of anything. I asked some friend's for help after my incident, but that is it. And most have denied helping me.

Here is what you should do:

1. Don't come back here (NVG) again. There is no point. What you need does not exist here, and being here will not help your problems.

2. Leave poker behind you. It is not some wonderful thing that you think you saw when you were watching TV. It is filled with cheaters, liers, hustlers who would want one thing from you - sex. You have nothing else to offer. Harsh? Yes. True? Yes.

3. As others have said, find friends and family in whom you trust. Find a job in retail or an entry level position somewhere that pays decent, but admittedly not great ... from what I have read your skill set won't get much more.

4. You really have no idea of what tournament poker is if you think results in 7 tournaments means anything. More so based on your complaints of bad beats ... imagine that, bad beats in poker. If you insist on becoming a poker player, go online, anonomously, and start building your roll. Post hand histories here, anonomously (other than Brandi Rose and with no picture), restricting your forums to strategy forums only. In a couple years, if you are as good as you think you are, maybe you will be properly rolled to chase your dream.

5. Seek professional psychiatric help.

there are so many better forums than NVG. Why do you post here anyway?
If you were serious about poker u could post hands on MTT, u can learn how to 8table the 11s on the SNG forum, there are lots of limit and nolimit forum. U can also ask a question to Sklansky on his own special forum.
The only forum in which you wont get destroyed is POG. People are really nice there.

my experience dealing with young tramatized females is

1 they revictimize themselves ...best way to put it is they go into a wolves den and act like a sheep. I think this thread is very close to that.

2 For the few that really want to help...hundreds are ready to be the next wolf and given the situation, the wolves will be more attrative and influencial. Hopefully, in time, Brandi can see this pattern.
Maybe, just maybe, your words or mine will sink in when it happens again...and it will happen again.
Posting here , saving her life....hope so but it could also be the venue to meet the next "captain" which is more likely.

Brandi....just be careful...easy way out comes with lots of strings.

btw I am in Vegas right now and would available to talk in person. I do not want anything and do not judge.

This is seriously a big joke. Complaing about being hustled when trying to be a professional poker player. There are alot of people in this world who are way worse off then you. Get over it and get a job.
