Re: Is Brandi really that much of a donk?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Read about how bad she has played at times. But she also does have some pretty decent finishes and I'm guessing it's not JUST variance but that she perhaps does have SOME kind of intuition. I'm also guessing that if I got poker lessons from Sklansky even for just an hour or two that my game would be improved considerably. I'm not a semi-hot chick though so I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. [/ QUOTE ] In Russia, we called it "peasant smarts" - i.e. the person is an uneducated dolt, but has a certain craftiness. I guess here in NA, the equivalent is "white trash smarts". [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] She is an idiot in objective terms, but she clearly understands people well enough and has enough "sense" to scam/rob them. And it's not just snapper. I would suggest that those skills are at least somewhat useful at a poker table. [/ QUOTE ] Yeh, in the US the expression is "street smart". "White trash" are generally poor southerners whose ancestors were British peasants and later small farmers in the US. I have a feeling she has that and it is useful in NLHE tournament play. That may explain the results, even though she doesn't play well technically. Of course, she is probably losing in tournaments overall and being staked. However, if she was really terrible, she couldn't cash repeatedly. The lessons from Sklansky probably help her, because he is expert in the math and strategy part that she is weak at.

I would assume that if she was a total donk she wouldn't have several decent cashes, but I may be wrong. There is a lot a weak/tight play in live tournaments. She seems pretty fearless, which is a big advantage.

Re: Is Brandi really that much of a donk?
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)"

Re: Is Brandi really that much of a donk?
I think SonofStalin's probably right. She's able to read people very well, which is a prerequisite to running scams as well as she does. Live that covers for a lot of her weaknesses, but online she's screwed because she's not that strong strategically.
Sklansky mentoring her may turn her into a good player, if he can get her head working.
