Re: Is Brandi really that much of a donk?
[ QUOTE ]
betgo, something to contemplate. "I played the $1500 event two days ago and knew that I was a 76% favorite with my AK suited, all money in preflop. And I had read my opponent perfect. Regardless of that particular outcome (my opponent with a weaker Ace ended up getting lucky)" [/ QUOTE ] I dont see your point? Her %ages are a touch off, but the sentiment is pretty much spot on. Fwiw, i have no first hand knowledge (like just about everyone here). But there is no doubt in my mind that in the past few months she will have improved under the tuterlage of DS/that mid to high stakes player she dated and many other people she became quite friendly with. You cant be around a group of poker players who are better than you and not improve your skills. Is she "world class" (no pun intended) - NO. But there are plenty of 'big name' live pros who make absolute donk moves, especially in cash games. Hell, ive played online with many 'big name' online tourney pros who have done things that at best i didnt 'get' or at worst i simply thought was pure spewage. As for personality, ive never met her and dont want to comment purely on second and third hand info. As for being a thief, thats between her and the guy stupid enough to leave someone alone on his account.

[/ QUOTE ] She claims to excel at every game and be the 2nd best female poker player because she knows AK is a favorite vs a smaller ace and knows that she shouldn't be results oriented. She is pretty clearly not a very good poker mind based on her own statements that claim to be proof on her talent. Now she could be the best hand reader of all time and know what everyone has at all times, and thus be a great player through that avenue, but she hasn't eclipsed the thought process of someone who's read TOP halfway through, and she clearly didn't even get that much right(average 75-95% favorite, quite a ridiculous statement and also impossible)

Re: Is Brandi really that much of a donk?
I have heard from many people that she plays limited hold them rather poorly - doing things like calling a raise with K7s.
I sat next to Chantel McNulty in a 40/80 game and she not only let me sweat her hole cards, but she would tell me the things she was thinking after a hand. My initial reaction would be, "no, you're thinking about the game incorrectly." However, many of her decisions came from the dynamic she would create with other players. Players that were attracted to her and who would play sub-optimally against her. I firmly believe that because of these dynamics, she gets more accurate reads, and more often than I get ANY reads. Thusly, she plays better post-flop than it would appear to a number cruncher like myself. Point is, maybe Brandi can do the same thing? ...or maybe she is the donkey she appears to be from the 2 dozen HHs we've seen.

[/ QUOTE ] because #1 I don't participate in those effed up 2p2 standards, and the one time I evidently did (I called a myspace girl out for being chubby because she WAS too chubby to have naked pix up) I got yelled at for being a b!tch. #2 She is definitely attractive, there is no denying it. She might not be a supermodel, but who is?! I'm not saying she's the hottest thing on the planet, but I wouldn't deny she's one of the hottest things in poker.

Re: Is Brandi really that much of a donk?
Brandi is pretty f'ing hot. Ain't no denying. If you've only seen her in photos, you're missing out. That said, I saw her once in LA with freaking lessions on her shoulder or somehthing... but if you ignored the open wounds, she was still hot. Ain't no denyin'
