Never Trust Anyone

[ QUOTE ]
Brandi, have you ever, in a direct or roundabout way, offered sex for money/buyins to a poker player? Because I've heard you have.

[/ QUOTE ]

In the industry, this is known as a "Sit-n-Go"

[willie]

terrible story, hope it all works out for you.


when i was scoping you out like a young voyeur scumbag at foxwoods you seemed in decent spirits during one of the early breaks in the me.....at least smiling and laughing on a shallow level.



keep it together kid.

ggbman and all: 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 ]

I stopped reading here.

If something significant came to light in the rest of the thread, ill catch it on the last page i guess

BT, for a long time ive put up with your obvious ignorance and clear trollishness - but this is really [censored] bad.

For the record i live with a stripper so ive seen that they are indeed people too.

Can BluffThis be butchered in his sleep by a crazed psychotic from the local asylum? Of course he can. However unlike other people who may be butchered in their sleep, it might be rightly said "he deserves it".

Edit to add, i believe the truth lies between Brandi's story and Captain (whoever he is) - whatever happened Brandi, seek some help and move on. Life is what we make of it and it is these bumps in the road which define us.

The next night, he crawled into bed with me naked. His penis on my back, frighten me, and woke me in the middle of the night. I freaked out and spent the rest of the night in the bathroom. I crawled to sleep on the floor and used the towels as blankets. I was traumatized.

[/ QUOTE ]

At first did you think you were being robbed by gunpoint?

[ QUOTE ]
Obviously the other people he backed and mentored weren't expected to suck his dick or do anything sexual with him. Why me? I blew up over how irrational it all was and how unfair it was that I am in this situation because I am a woman.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um, too bad you didn't know me before this happened; I could have warned you.. This brings back bad memories of that long, hot, Mississippi summer of '03. Trust me, "huggling" was only the beginning. In my case, I was promised a PlayStation 2 and 3 games of my choice. To this day, I still feel like I have a "Little Captain" in me.

[ QUOTE ]
Amanda came out and said that she met him two years ago when she was with her mom and that for two years Tom has promised her a job in his company ~ which was still yet to happen, as Tom does not have a company.

[/ QUOTE ]

With you, your friend, and Amanda, I'd say Tom has plenty of company.

[ QUOTE ]
Now, everyone that knows Tom Franklin, I hope is obviously aware that he is married!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, they don't give a sh!t, either.

[ QUOTE ]
Anyway ~ we all ended up sharing a room that first night in Foxwoods because the casino was booked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok. What did you tell him before you agreed to that arrangement. "Hey Tom! Keep the Captain in his quarters tonight."


[ QUOTE ]
My friend and I slept in one bed. Tom and his "daughter" as he claims her to be ~ slept in the other. Tom was in a very bad mood because he was not getting laid.

[/ QUOTE ]

No kidding. What kind of animal would have sex in front of his daughter?

[ QUOTE ]
To make a long story short, he did not do anything for me in Foxwoods. He did not put me into satellites and he refused to give me my bankroll back. I started talking to some of the players about what I was going through. Gavin and Chris Bell were going to have a talk with him. Coincidentally, he called me and I thought I should rectify the situation on my own.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok. Time to start throwing some names in the mix.

[ QUOTE ]
We met and he said that "What are you doing talking to people about this? Why do you think I am a bad guy? If I were a really bad guy, I would have raped you that night when I had the chance!"

[/ QUOTE ]

One aspect of rape that cannot be overlooked, is that technically, there is always a chance ... its just a matter if the perpetrator chooses to take it.

[ 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.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you at least give this John a discount? How does "someone" appear to put their finger down your throat. Are you sure it wasn't the "Little Captain?"

[ QUOTE ]


Mark Newhouse bought my ticket home, along with my friend's. When I got home, I thought of things I could do to straighten the situation out. I tried calling Tom and asking nicely. I talked to the press. I even talked to Todd and Doyle Brunson (who sponsor him on their site). They both said they would talk to him when he got into town.

[/ QUOTE ]

Earlier in your story, you claimed the friend was ditched.

[ QUOTE ]
During that time, no one helped me except Phil Gordon. I filmed something with him for his show and he gave me 1k.

[/ QUOTE ]

Time to drop another name.

[ QUOTE ]


But Tom is a very good liar. I'm not sure what he said to Todd or Doyle. All I can say is that I met them both once and I did nothing crazy except tell them what he did to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, which to a total stranger, makes you look crazy.

[ QUOTE ]
What I wanted to do was scream!!

[/ QUOTE ]

That would have been a better choice than to post your gripe here.


[ QUOTE ]
I did not deserve this.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's arguable. How can your ignore your complicity in your own demise? Obviously, the actions of others are out of your control, and if they wronged you, they shall be punished. But to claim you are an innocent lamb is silly.

[ QUOTE ]

Last night, I had a panic attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

Welcome to the club. I had to chase a woman through the woods for almost 2 miles. She was a lot faster than I thought.

[ QUOTE ]
During that time, my passport was stolen.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't worry, the road to nowhere doesn't require a passport.

[ QUOTE ]
I ended up punching a guy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now we're talking.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't know what's wrong with me right now.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have some ideas. PM me if you are interested in my thoughts.

[ QUOTE ]
I tried to go about things discreetly, but it has not worked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, seems so. Except for, you know, all these posts and stuff.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm upset that people who could help me, don't care or just wont.

[/ QUOTE ]

Some people on this board have made you generous offers, you have ignored them.

[ QUOTE ]
I do not know what else to say here. I've told you my story as best as I could.

[/ QUOTE ]

You should give it a day or two, I'm sure you can think up some more.


[ QUOTE ]
What I need right now is some support and compassion and mercy. I need a gift from God and a miracle. Because of this situation, I'm now at a place where I feel as though I'm hanging to life by a shoestring.

[/ QUOTE ]

At little dramatic, I would say. Is a labotomy out of the question?


You travelled the world for 5 years? Why bother. When your head is in your ass, every place looks the same.

Brandi,

There ARE people that you will be able to trust in your life. Those people include family members and friends that have demonstrated to you time and again that they will be there for you and have your best interests at heart. You, in turn, need to provide that level of respect and trustworthiness back to them. This coordinated and delicate dance takes a lifetime to nurture.

You should not expect to find that level of trust and goodwill in a man that you met briefly and whom makes a living by being the best liar at the table.

Having said that, I would recommend that you now turn to a woman in your life that you trust (mother, aunt, teacher, counselor) that can help you to brainstorm ways to exact revenge. This could be very interesting and cathartic and much more effective than posting on a message board that may or may not be frequented by people that are concerned for your welfare.

Or, you could just chalk this up as a valuable and hard-learned lesson in life. We have all experienced our share of stupid mistakes and mis-spent trust.

Remember that, throughout your life, I absolutely guarantee that certain people will test how far they can push you and that you will need to learn to stand up for yourself, push back, and come back over the top every now and again.

Take care and good luck.

(The above written applies even if it turned out that Brandi Rose was an internet troll dreamt up by an extremely bored and ill person, and even if this story turned out to be bogus, the advice applies. Skepticism is healthy in this case and obv. warranted, but threats of suicide should never slip by unnoticed.)

That explains your ignorant post. Before you weigh in on your opinion, especially when it is to condemn another person, you owe them the courtesy of reading the rest of the thread.

This comment has been addressed throughout, and as it appears above requires further context. Furthermore, after clarifying his position and explaining the intent of the comment, Bluff This apologized for using the comment.

That he enjoys helping young people. And when they do well, he feels good about himself ... He also said that we were going to have set times to meet so that it was all going to be very professional and that people would not get the wrong idea...

[/ QUOTE ]

1.) Anyone that immediatley starts to screen these perceptions I would be very wary of, as usually there's reason they bring these things up!

2.) Additionally, there's never any need to give your money to anyone else. It's your money and yours 2 look after. If you want help with bankroll management then get good advice and be disclipined enough to follow it. If you don't try this how will you ever cope when you don't have someone to hold it for you?

3.)Finally, I tired of people's perceptions of everyone being evil in the Poker world! OK so it started off in a darker world where conmen thrived but nowadays the younger generation of players aren't intersted in getting your money other than legitimatley via the chips on the Poker table! Conmen exist in all walks of life and sadly it appears that they are commonly more experienced in the years. Consistent 'grooming' of young naive girls by older, well-financed men is true in all walks of life but women who are usually aware of their dealings to some degree can still be conned!
Personally, if I meet this Captain I'm going to try and get to see if he's shady in anyway, then if so, I'm gonna f*** him up so hard! I hate the perception such ppl give the Poker world. Hanging around with girls that are old enough to be your granddaughter just reeks of mind minipulation and it stinks! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
