Never Trust Anyone

[Cornell Fiji]

[ QUOTE ]

I was in tears the entire time I was in Foxwoods. I even tried to OD there and someone put their finger down my throat until I was able to throw everything up. I was miserable. Here I had trusted someone and was left stranded on the other side of the country with not even ten cents to my name.

Mark Newhouse bought my ticket home, along with my friend's...

Just wanted to point out a silver lining in this thread:

Despite this crappy situation that led to a poor girl wanting to kill herself (a situation in which most posters here give her no sympathy) one 2p2er who is a standup kid, a 21 year old with his head squarely on his shoulders, decided to help this poor girl in her time of dispair.

I am sure that newhizzle realized that he might have been getting conned here but he had the heart to decide that a few hundred dollars in plane tickets was a sacrifice that he was willing to make to brighten up this suicidal girls day. I commend him for it.

I really think there should be a way to expose the identity of some of the posters here.

They suck at life so bad that they deserve to be held out in public as a warning to us all.

My guess is that most of the trolls here are not even old enough to venture into a casino and that they are writing from a computer paid for by their parents.

Brandi, if you don't like penises, I would suggest not getting Gavin Griffin to stake you.

bluffthis,

you are a terrible person and i hope you don't have children.
regardless of whether any of this story is true, every post you have made has reinforced the fact that you are a bitter bitter person who adds nothing of value to any discussion you take part in.
i normally don't post in threads like this, but you have moved me...you truly are scum.

and don't bother responding to this as i will not engage in a conversation with you, this is my last post.

you disgust me.

if you had a threesome with ZJ and durr, bluffthis' head might explode.

[/ QUOTE ]

But wouldnt this actually be a gang bang, or a "train", and not a 3-some as it would be durr, ZJ, ZJ1, ZJ2, ZJ3, ZJ4, ZJ5, ZJ6, ZJ7.

I commend him for it.

There is a difference between someone who previously has shown themselves worthy of credibility coming here with that story, and her doing so, when she hasn't shown herself to be anything other than a self-promoting money-seeking hustler.

[/ QUOTE ]

Self-promoting with a story of some old guy rubbing his [censored] on her back? Yeah, she'll be raking in the millions within the week. There is a difference between skepticism and being a dick head. You can be skeptic about Brandi being a good poker player, but when a chick brings up something as delicate and serious as sexual harassment, usually the best route to proceed on is shutting up when you know nothing about her claim.


[ QUOTE ]
Can a hooker or stripper get raped? The answer is of course she can. However unlike other women to whom those terms don't apply, it might be rightly said "she asked for it".

[/ QUOTE ]

You're such a POS.


[ QUOTE ]
But MY whole point here, is that hardly anything she says can be taken at face value.

[/ QUOTE ]

And that due to her slutty and hustler behavior, she definitely should've seen it coming.. who cares, though, she deserved it, right?


[ QUOTE ]
ggb,

And you have NO REASON given her history on this forum, to believe her story to be more likley to be credible than not. Period.

[/ QUOTE ]

He didn't say otherwise, [censored]. How don't you get this? If a chick makes a thread saying she was sexually assaulted, calling her a liar isn't a cool thing. If she was lying about being sexually assaulted then she is seriously screwed in the head and needs help. If she actually was sexually assaulted you just look like a total prick (which you are anyway).

Seriously WTF is going on here, a girl posts about how she was ripped off/life ruined by a sleazy old pro and people start taking shots at her? Something is defenatly wrong in your peoples heads
Ok Then- Brandy may suck at poker- really isnt the time to discuss this
Soshe has done some thing she regrets in teh past- not the time for discussing this either.
What it seems like is some people are just looking to take shots because she is a girl- is it becuase your jealous of her looks, that your girlfriends dont exist and if they did they would be more Kathy liebert than Brandi (Whatever was decided her last name was- or is it because she is a much more successful, well known poker player than a lot of the haters.
Is this just some see my E-Penis thread... OoooOooo Everyone is flocking to talk to thsi girl, I could show how much of a cool balla I am by being a bastard and making her want to kill herself even more. I hope some of you have a time come up where you need help and support and people laugh at you- then you die.

Here's a little story from this year's WSOP that might add a slight bit of credibility to Brandi's story:

I played the final $1500 NL event of the 2006 WSOP. This was the actual last event -- it went off just before the conclusion of the Main Event.

I called my girflriend Miri when it looked like I was getting relatively far and had a decent stack. Tom Franklin was at my table. There was a young girl sitting behind me, and Miri sat next to her. The young girl told Miri that she was Tom Franklin's daughter. It did seem a little odd to me that his daughter would be in town for the WSOP with no other family members present, but I didn't think much of it. Perhaps this was the "Amanda" referred to in Brandi's story, and perhaps the girl really wasn't his daughter! Then again, Miri said that this "daughter" was looking very lovingly at him and cheering every time he won a pot -- hardly indicative of someone who is reluctantly being used in a sex-for-money deal.

Honesty, I'm not sure what to believe here. This story could range from 100% true to 95% BS. I will say that I doubt Brandi was stupid enough to believe that Tom Franklin was offering to "mentor" her and was never expecting anything in return. I have my ideas as to what really went down, but I won't share them at this time, as these are pretty serious accusations on both sides of the fence.

Oh, and there is an unconfirmed rumor that Brandi is now spending a lot of time with Dutch Boyd here in Vegas.

Finally, it doesn't surprise me that newhizzle was the one that came to her rescue with the plane tickets. He has a big heart. I just hope it doesn't get him in trouble, given the number of reprehensible and dishonest people in the poker world.

More news as it breaks.
