Never Trust Anyone

[FatalError]

I wish i could trust this word for word, but if 70% of this is even true then OMG OMG OMG OMG

[blackjack777]

CLIFF NOTES:

1. Brandi gives man who calls himself "Captain Tom" her entire roll of 12 G's.

2. The Captain is sort of like a grandfather to Brandi, but soon he turns evil and rubs his manhood against her back while they are sharing a hotel room.

3. Captain allegedly wants a BJ or more to give back the money.

4. Brandi get back 3K of the 12, but has to snuggle with the old man. He continues to teqach her. Brandi sticks around.

5. Captain Tom is allegedly really into much younger women.

6. Brandi goes to Doyle Brunson, he gives her 2 grand out of the kindness of his heart.

7. Brandi tried to OD herself and is suicidal and depressed.

8. Phil Gordon gives Brandi money, but she gets her BMW repossessed and eats a thanksgiving meal alone.

9. Brandi is pissed and out for revenge. She punches a dude and has a panic attack.

That's about it.

I mean there's so much stuff to address here that i dont think anyone will really take the time to...

1.) You shouldn't have a BMW and be traveling the tour with a 12k BR... and you definitly shouldn't trust it to someone you met recently and whose qualfications to handle your money are non-existant

2.)It is evident from this post that you are traumatized from whatever did go down, so ignore the posts in this thread from people who are just looking to give you a hard time

3.) If you really did try to kill yourself over events like this, you need some help. There are curveballs in life, and most people will have to endure stuff at least as bad as what your described (minus the sexual harrassment part, that is obviously ridiculous) and if you are that on edge emotionally, i would re-evaluate how you are living your life and consider taking a break from a profession that can be as stressful as poker.

Anyway, good luck and hopefully you get your money back and can leave this ordeal in the past.

Look, say whatever you want. I've played a total of 6 tournaments. I've won or cashed in 4 of them. You can tell me I'm stupid and that it's all my fault for what happened, but with that history of wins vs. losses, you can't say I suck at poker.
If it's not enough tournaments to base whether or not I'm a winning player, then I guess you will just have to give me more time and wait and see.

i played with you in the mega sat to festa wpt, and on the bubble you were doing the stupidiest [censored] i've ever seen. you were like 2nd or 3rd in chips w/ 25 left w/ 24 who get seats and you're playing big pots against the only guy who can bust you, or insta calling all ins w/ A3o against guys who can take half your chips and perhaps give you a chance of busting when you can fold into a seat because "you were bored."

listen, you might be ok, but it sounds like you haven't exactly put hundreds of thousands of hands and hundreds of hours playing poker like many of the successful players on this board and on the tournament circuit have.

alot of these guys, don't have much reason to stake you otherwise than to sleep with you because you aren't a winning player, and that's just the truth.

I'm sorry to hear this Brandi. Honestly the poker world is a terrible place for a girl like you. Its not fair, and its not right, and I wish it wasnt this way, but it is.


The only girls I know your age who have played tournaments and high stakes poker for a while have tons of trouble dealing with it.

I really wish you the best and Im glad you think you have met a couple good people for now but my best advice is pretty simple. Do something else for a while. If you must stay in poker play online or something, move back home if you can. Or alternativly go back to school or do some other job. There must have been something before poker you were interested in?

I'm sorry,

I believe so little of your post. And I honestly think you should get your act together and grow up.

Question for all:

Who really got conned here? Poor lil Brandi by mean ol dirty old man Cpt. Tom? Or all of you who are gullible enough to believe her story with no other corroboration?

Bluff,

It's hard to believe Brandi would slander somebody, ruining her reputation in the poker world, just to trick a message board.
