Like others, I'm just chiming in so that my name is in this thread.

This has to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

Somehow, after 99 pages of this, someone finally went too far and got a post deleted?

last week i interviewed brandi at the bellagio outside of the five diamond. she told me the same story about captain tom that she ended up starting this thread with the next day. she told me that i couldn't record or share any of that information because at that point she still thought that she was getting her money back, but that it was dependant on keeping the story quiet. she also told me how doyle brunson, phil gordon, and mark newhouse (newhizzle) helped her out along the way. during the interview dutch boyd kept popping in and out for cigarette and pee breaks on the balcony and apparently he was trying to help brandi recover her money from captain tom. i interviewed them both together and also individually as i tried to determine if the stories were fact or fiction.

my initial feeling was that there was truth to the stories, but that they were slanted by some combination of immaturity, drugs, mental illness, or just giddiness about being in the spotlight. i am still trying to determine if what i have is newsworthy or just a result of the combination of factors mentioned above. Despite everything that i had heard about brandi and dutch, i found them both likable and hope that they get the help that they need.

now newhizzle has posted that brandi lost 30k of his money (or at least a portion of the 30K she lost) playing unauthorized games on his account. as crazy as these stories seem, i don't think that they are that far from the norm in the poker world. i also don't see much difference between brandi giving captain tom 12k and newhizzle letting brandi play on his account. if true, both seem to be equally bad judgment.

there will always be gold diggers looking for the quick score from the players, and players looking from the quick score from the gold diggers. many times both parties are happy with the arrangements and sometimes they go bad. when you mix so much money, greed, drugs, sex, mental illness, and public interest, stories like these are bound to be plentiful. everyone makes mistakes at some point, but hopefully people can learn from these stories to be more careful with their money, who to associate with, and that everyone involved can recover and land on their feet.
