Joan Jett's 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' just rolled through on iTunes. Good song to catch up on this thread to.

A far better Joan Jett song would be "Do You Want To Touch Me (There)?"

Shajen I agree with almost all of what you said.

(except I do think she is probably a wackjob at some level)

pokerraja,

If you want to discuss further, start a thread in SMP, but I disagree w/ your psych analysis.

While there's nowhere near enough info to make any sort of analysis that's much more valid than a wild guess, I'd put my money on BPD over Antisocial Personality Disorder.

http://www.mental-health-matters.com...s.php?disID=17

"Borderline Personality Disorder: Overview

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) occurs in approximately 2% of the population. It is a disorder in which a person has a pattern of unstable personal relationships, a self-image that is not well formed, and poor impulse control in areas such as spending, sexual conduct, driving, eating, and substance abuse. Additionally, the person suffering from BPD fears abandonment and will go to any length to prevent this. They feel chronic emptiness.

One of the hallmarks of BPD is known as "splitting". This is where the person with BPD will swing between idealizing and devaluing people in relationships. They will pit people against one another, making one group the "white hats" and the other the "black hats". A person is either good or bad, the person with BPD being unable to reconcile that there is both good and bad within a person. And this categorization of a person may shift from day to day, the person being good one day and bad the next.

There may be suicidal threats, gestures or attempts made by the person with BPD. There may also be self-mutilation that occurs. Their mood may be very prone to outside stress, with feelings of depression and anger readily provoked, with anxiety also a common occurrence. With extreme stress, the person with BPD may experience paranoid ideation, or may have dissociative symptoms such as "running on automatic" and disconnecting from reality."

Captain went about it makes a lot of sense:

Essentially, he wanted to sleep with her (of course). But he knew the only way she'd agree to it was if he had some hold over her. Hence he suckered her into giving him her money, and only after that did he then try any funny business with her.

Now she was stuck, cause she couldn't just walk away and lose her money. So she had to hang around him. He gave her 3K as a sign of good faith, thinking that might entice her to sleep with him. When she still wouldn't, he just said screw you, and kept the money.








Looked at in that context, her story makes a lot of sense, and sounds believable. And I'm sure this is the kind of manipulating and controlling strategy that this scumbag has pulled before. It's like pimps getting women addicted to drugs so they can control them.


I have to agree with this version like many others and will say Oski has explained this situation very well. GGB, I admire your persistence for womens rights and moral decency, but as someone who has had and seen many experiences with people of this caliber, I can say that this is a familiar plot line. The names have changed but the story's the same.

And, btw as compelling and thought out your arguments have been, for me to sympathize and empathise with the "Queen of Hearts", It has a struggle--That girl on your profile just keeps shaking that ass and shaking. She is hot and makes me horny. You might want to take that off next time.

This is nothing more than a valiant battle between two hustlers playing an elaborate game here. And like poker, it is a game of incomplete information and we will never get to see the hole cards but we can do our best with the information given and make appropriate reads.

This is how I see it. I can't tell you who put the first move on whom, but I would guess that the Captain being the savvy road filth that he is, saw Ballbreaker shaking that ass around and flashing those hot [censored] on somebody she was hustling and decided he had an easy mark.

Next, I would say Ballbreaker took control of the hand and started posing and flirting with the Captain and basically just making the old codger think he didn't need Viagra anymore. She really put him on tilt before the game even got started. I wouldn't doubt if he didn't just go ahead and drop some money in the pot and get the game going. Ballbreaker probably played a few sattelites on the old man's dime, all the while getting the old scummy all hot and sweaty while she shook that ass around.

At this point, I think Brandi was slowly chipping up and controlling the tempo. Captain probably let it get a little out of control and who knows how long she strung him along all the while just building that stack.

Now it was time for the Captains move. Captain got Ballbreaker to go all in preflop on a draw. Captain was playing Long Ball Poker and Ballbreaker got pot committed. She did have a few outs though. When the flop came out the Captain just checked, and offered Ballbreaker a way out. She could just chuddle or whatever the hell that old bastard calls it. Let's suppose she is dumb enough to think maybe she can just chuddle with the Captain. Its not crazy to believe, I mean she is playing loose and the Captain has been playing pretty tight and hasn't had to show any bluffs.

The turn was a doozy. The Captain held what seemed to be the nuts. And, Ballbreaker was hoping to get out of this hand cheap maybe just maybe catch a miracle card. Her hopes were quickly vanished when the penis hit the back. Ballbreaker went on tilt as the Captain flashed the nuts. He stood tall penis in hand knowing that she was drawing dead. At this point I'm sure the Captain thought the game was over. In his mind it was simple, Make Gramps happy or the pot is mine.

OH but not so soon Captain, after long needed rest under the low hummmm of a broken toilet, Ballbreaker gained her composure and came firing back with threats and scare tactics that frightened the old Captain. The old scummy was road savvy enough to know that there is really nothing more scary than a true nutjob(woman or man, although a woman is really much more threatning in the sense that they can destroy your life and reputaition without violence more effectively)

Ballbreaker now had Captain by the balls. His flush was no good, Ballbreaker was holding a full house. Once again, We don't have complete info so its hard to say, but I would guess that this is when the Captain decided to pay the 3K. Ballbreaker bit and now was being strung along again. It's tough to say how long this went on but I would think that at some point Ballbreaker started playing aggressive again and the Captain would have said at some point that " This crazy bitch aint worth it" , and just gave her the other 9K.

I now see the recent events of this thread to suggest that the Captain is just a miserable excuse for a person, and certainly a bad example of a family man or any man at all. And, that Ballbreaker is nuts and being a nutty hustler is giving the Captain just what he deserves. I would say she is way up in this game now and definitly holds all the cards now.

] I have not read past four pages into this, but I answered all PMs tonight. I'm still waiting to hear back from my dad. I will give him another call tomorrow. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all the responses and job offers/help.
I've got $43 to make it through the holidays and have been extremely down. I just hope things will change.
As for Shaniac, I do not know him. I doubt he has ever met me. There are some things being said and some massive backlash because of this, but not much of what has been written (not by me) is true.
A few friendships have been lost and there are real reasons for the departure in my life. Someone that I am friends with, claiming he had sex with me and I made him go busto. Big error and completely uncredible. This person won a big tourament and now thinks he is God's gift to poker... Yet cries every night at being outplayed in the big cash games. He will no doubt be busto before the WSOP. I wish him the best though and hope he grows up and gets brought down to earth.
As for me, I'm trying to keep my chin up. I've been sleeping a lot more than normal because of the depression. But am actively seeking a job and look to getting back in the games sometime soon.

Thanks to those who offer support during such a trying time.

Love ~ Brandi
