My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

I'd like to apologize for my etiquette today and especially what I said after I busted out. My loss was a combination of bad luck and also not playing my best... given my condition.

I should have kept my own personal dislikes of a person to myself and not given them a bitchy remark when they eliminated me... no matter how I felt, how much they had been annoying me, etc. For that, I was wrong and I feel bad. I have not been a very nice person today or treated everyone as I would have liked to. I have fallen short, and I give my sincerest apologies.

A big part of the reason I am acting so horrible today is because l feel so awful. Right now, I should be in the hospital in intensive care. That is what the doctors have voiced. I have been in the hospital three times this week. I spent all evening there last night and also four hours today. The only reason I am not there right now is because I was hoping to do better in the tournament ( I almost made it through day one... almost) and since I was still playing, I promised I would go back to the hospital for more tests and shots tomorrow. So... come tomorrow that is where I will be.

I'm not sure how to let everyone know the gravity of the situation. Basically, I have an extreme infection of my respitory system. My tonsils and glands in my throat are swollen almost shut, they are covered with sacks of puss, and are bleeding. The blood is going down to my stomach and causing me to vomit. For the past couple days, I have been fed intraveiniously with fluids. And have been given several shots for nausea and vomitting. This is a big reason why I had to leave the tournament today. I was throwing up blood and could not even keep any water down.
As it stands now, I am in a lot of pain. I still cannot swallow food. It's even difficult to talk/drink. (They had given me a steriod shot, which took down some of the swelling... so talking today has been easier, but still painful). I also have a splitting migraine because I'm not getting enough fluids and I'm not eating.
Since the WSOP began, I was not eating very much... but over the past two weeks, I have gone without food for days. With the condition I am in right now, it does not look like it's going to get any better soon. I've already went down 2 dress sizes. I've lost 4 inches off of my waist, and 3 off my hips. I usually weigh around 125, but have lost so much weight so quickly... I am now around 113 pounds.

So... that's the situation. I am very, very ill. I'm not sure when I will be back to health. Sorry for my missteps and ugliness towards people today. Please forgive me for that and take it easy on me. My spirits are down and I may be spending a long time in the hospital until I get better. I could really use some kind words and good friends.

Thanks, B

Oh yeah, I stubbed my toe and kicked my cat today. I feel bad for the way I’ve acted and my foot really hurts from the stubbing and the kicking. My apologies go out to all those in the forums. Please pity me.

Be sure to alert 2+2 before you go to the hospital with every life threatening illness. We need to know these things!

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

if your condition is that dire, deciding to play is a very poor decision. how did sklansky ever think she could play effectively in those conditions? and i thought brandi/sklansky was the new dream team of poker....

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

Hope you get better soon.

brandy, stop smoking so much ganja and [censored] then u'll feel better, im not trying to be mean here....... also from the way u talk it seems like ur a very selfish person

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

I was going to offer vague wishes of wellness until I read this in another thread:

"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...."

You didn't come down with a case of strep throat - you caught a bad case of karma.

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

Thats ok Brandi we're all human beings and we make mistakes especially if we're not feeling well. I hope you feel better and can get back on the tournament circuit ASAP.

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

go **** yourself

sound familiar?

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

um ok, its like the girl that cried wolf story u just never lern

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

gl. play more 30/60 at the bell.

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

Does that mean you played in the WSOP while on steroids? Could this be our first poker drugs scandal?

Re: My etiquette... reasons and apology
 

Ugh this dummy again?

How do you figure she was less than 75% fav.

As7s vs KcQc
She wins if neither player improves.
She wins if they each make top pair.
She wins if they each make 2 pair.
She loses if they each make bottom pair.

In these cases alone she wins 75% of the time.

Then, in addition to that 75%, if they each make a flush, her A-high flush beats the K-high flush. And A7 makes way more straights (it can make any straight except 2-6) than KQ (which can only make 2 straights, K-high and A-high).

Therefore, she is obv at least a 75-95% fav.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.... wait a minute here. I really would like to clear this up because the person who wrote this is an [censored] and spun things out of context, and exaggerated them...

I did make a bad call and ask to see someone's cards. I had been in the hospital and gone for several hours. I did not know how anyone played and wanted to know what that person was betting so heavy into me with. I actually kept calling their bets, but on the river... I was told that I had to show my cards first. Which I did not understand. I thought because I was CALLING his bets in all previous rounds, that HE would have to show his cards first. Since that was not the case, and I was still confused... I asked to see the cards.
I got AA a total of 3 times, not four. And it was not within 90 minutes... more like two or three hours. I think I won only one of those times, although it might have been two. But I did not win much with it. When I lost, I lost most of my stack. And I DID NOT call my opponent an idiot. I said that I WAS THE IDIOT!!! I had a feeling I should have put him all in on 4th street but didn't. Instead I let him draw out on me. So I said that I AM AN IDIOT. I AM AN IDIOT.
What else is there to say? I definitely did not call him an idiot.

Also... The person on the phone was David. He asked me who was at my table. I did not say there are awful players. I said UNKNOWN players. The only person I knew was Mimi Tran.

I'm so sick of people taking something I do or say and then twisting it to make me look bad. I've been working very hard to be a positive and good person within this industry... to turn all the negative stuff around... I feel bad when I fall short of being a very good person.

Right now, I'm deathly ill.... I should not have played the tournament, but I had a lot of people counting on me whom I did not want to let down. And inevitably between my busting out and my words/actions during the day.... that exactly what I did.
