And by doing so you would pretty much be showing your 'girl' total disrespect. Here honey, I know you are an adult and all but you need a strong man to fight your battles because I know you can't do it yourself. Pathetic!

First of all why are people all over chad brown, i assume most of you have girlfriends, are you telling me you just allow guys to make disrespectful comments to your girlfriend and do nothing about it??? [censored] sake

If someone made a disrespectful comment to my girlfriend in a poker room and I stepped in she would be angrier with me then she would be with the idiot making the comments.

The poker room is the office. There should be no distinction between genders in how you act. Those two are supposed to be professionals and should understand that.

Chad's actions pretty much told everyone (not intentionally I am sure) that he knows Vanessa is weak and needs his protection from a fairly mild verbal assault. Sad for everyone involved but mostly for Vanessa. Her boyfriend sees her as weak and her actions at the table show (once again) that her emotions seem to consistently override any smarts that she has.

There seems to be a lot of bitterness on all sides that she is a mediocre player who has got sponsorship because she's a fairly attractive woman. Oh, the ironing!

QFT. This did not get enough love. Yet another day when I show up to the office at 7:30 determined to bill some serious money, and yet again life interferes and I find myself reading a 200-post thread. Sean Penn as Aaron Been. Phoebe Cates as Vanessa, and Peter North as Chad Brown. Fast Times @ Ridgemont High II.

If you bring back from the dead, Ray "My Favorite Martian" Walston as Mr. Hand, I'm there!

This is like Poker Rashomon, all we need now is the dealer and Chad Brown's side of the story.

honestly berating other players seems like a part of the live tourney game. hellmuth berates people in every tournament he plays and he's considered one of the "good guys" in poker. sometimes the talking at the tables can be used to manipulate players in the future and i think that's why many of the good players do it (i don't think that was the case in this incident).

if you can't handle someone saying something about your (or your gf's) game then you shouldn't be a professional poker player.
