Re: Brandi Missing 200-400 Blind Round Due To Illness
[ QUOTE ]
I can't imagine the doc in the box thing being any help at all. Actually, wtf is a doc in the box? What are they seriously going to give her that is going to be that much help? She should have just went yesterday and had some meds handy or else just not play. The whole thing just seems so contrived. I wonder if anyone told ESPN, so on her way back in she could get some footage? [/ QUOTE ] "Doc in the box" is a term used to describe an urgent care center. Sort of carries a negative connotation with it but they are pretty capable of handling super routine stuff like a sore throat or whatever Brandi had. There are some meds that can help you feel better but it does depend of course on the problem at hand.

She has had a bad flu for a week and decided to ante off about 3K (she has about 25K in chips) in hopes the 3 1/2 hour break at the "doc in the box" on Harmon can resucitate her well enough to make that decision the right play. I took her there myself. Sorry that the reason for her absence was not juicier. [/ QUOTE ] It would be hugely -EV to miss so many hands. For a +EV player, that is. In this case, who knows? Maybe DS is onto something.

The doc in the box move was seriously -EV. I am board certified in emergency medicine and would fly in and care for her in exchange for a few poker lessons from you David. Also, is there some rule that says she can't get treated while at the table like the boys in the NFL do? That would be sweet to pump her full of meds and IV fluids while whe plays. Even if she isn't focused it would be +EV to sit and play monsters only poker. And just for the record, I have zero interest in sleeping with her. PM if interested. [/ QUOTE ] Don't know if you are serious or not. But they did tell her that her throat is so inflamed, or her tonsils are so swollen, or whatever, that she is in danger of having her airway cut off. On the other hand she now has close to 40K in chips. So you will have to do a tracheotomy at the table.

Re: Brandi Missing 200-400 Blind Round Due To Illness
I played with her after she returned from the hospital, until my untimely demise and first thing she needs to learn is some etiquiute...I raised her blind and she called....I made a continuation bet and she called....I was pretty sure I was getting called down and not sure if I had the best hand and decided to just show the hand down by checking turn and river......she demanded to see my hand after she shows the winning hand and says "I want to see what that guy is betting at me with".....now I could understand this from her months ago, but I would think with all that time her and David had spent together she would know that is not good form.
Then she proceeds to catch AA 4 times in 90 mins and limp in every time and chk call all streets (brilliant) then on one of them the guy betting top pr catches a 5 outer on the river and she calls him an idiot and doesnt shut up about it for an hour....she proceeds to tilt off about 10-15k and then starts talking about how terrible she feels and all this crap (before the hand she was chatty and feeling fine)...just setting up the excuses. She goes on to win another huge pot when this guy just gives her a ton of chips and all of sudden she feels good again..... Also. standing right next to the table where most if not all of us could hear her she talks on the cell phone to someone and says my table has no good players on it...... She is a joke and I was ambivalent towards her (except that I like Mark and know how she screwed him over)....now I cant stand her and eagerly await her flameout and excuses....
