Never Trust Anyone

[SA125]

Less than 60 days ago, on Oct 18th, Diablo introduced you to 2+2 as a hot girl in the poker world. You joined in and gave the thread leg's. I guess it was fun for you and it's understandable.

Now you're talking about suicide and saying you don't need anyone to tell you how you messed up. You're putting your horribly sad state of life up for everyone to see. Not good.

Your name and reputation is the most valuable thing you have. You're damaging it here. You don't look like you need compassion. You look like you need counseling.

The NVG forum of 2+2 is a great place to tell the world what a loser Franklin is. World Class loser obviously. But it hurts you way more than it hurts him to say here publicly that he had his penis on your back after you gave him all your money.

You're imploding in the poker life and community. Shut it down for a while. Get a job as a waitress somewhere, get your finances straight and don't go back to the poker life until you can afford it. If you can't walk away for a while and get things straight, either you're delusional and believe you're tied into the poker life, or you're a problem gambler. Walk away for a while. GL.

For some reason, I'm guessing my post was a total waste of time. I hope not. GL.

lol, cmon you say you have street smarts? its absolutely jokeful that you would give you entire bankroll to anyone for complete control. did you really never think that a fallout could result in you not getting your money back?

it's also completely hilarious that you truly believe you are a good poker player and that all these people are backing you because they think you're good enough to deserve backing. lets be honest; you're a mediocre amateur at best, and these people like to be hanging out with a good looking girl, even if you're not having sex with them.

bottom line: grow up. this is the real world now. if you're saying you're this innocent naive girl, then you're immature and not ready to play poker for a living, much less anything professional. i really don't think you're THAT dumb though, so i'm inclined to believe that you knew exactly what was going on and now that you got screwed, you're exaggerating the story.

Brandi,

You really need to find a guy (read:steady boyfriend plus) who can support you, look after you, and keep you out of trouble, and I'm not simply talking about a rich sugar-daddy.

Oh, and you will find no such guy anywhere in the world of casino gambling.

Good luck.

I'M BRINGING PENIS BACK!

holla holla, 6 tournaments means you are a "pro" and "in the industry" lolz @ you. Actually sweeping you under the rug would probably be the best outcome. In many circles, draping your penis on the backside of a prospective mate is a pretty standard opener. Haven't you heard the mantra?

If she lays, NO WAYZ!!!
If she turns around, go to town!

it's like that now, ya better come get the penis up off ya back now.

Wow I thought Bluff_This was just bitter and jealous of superior poker players, seems like he's a woman hater too. Seriously, his posts in this thread merit a ban, they are disgusting.

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. I'm sure your M.O. is to come off as flirty/slutty as possible and then when the person you are leading on (in exchagnge for a buyin) tries to collect on the promise of sex, you act appalled.

I don't mind your whorishness whatsoever, it's the way you disguise it through total disinegnuity that makes me sick.

I don't know "Captain" Tom, but I do believe the poker scene is full of broke misogynistic scumbags, so this wouldn't surprise me at all.

And Brandi, assuming this is true, why not go through the normal channels of talking to a lawyer and/or the police?

Btw, if it's true that he tried to coerce you into having sex with him by threatening not to give you back your money, that's called "attempted rape."

Not as easily done as you might think. First off this took place in another state so she would have to go there and file a complaint. The fact that she has no physical evidence means it's her story against his. And finally, using coercion to have sex may not be attempted rape under the criminal statutes of most states. It would probably fall under a different code.

If this took place the way Brandi describes then she is best off just considering that 12k as gone. She won't get it back from him. According to the story though she's already got about half back from others though.

Brandi, a lot of the posts here are from young kids with no real world experience so just ignore them. Many of us who have played poker for a long time have seen similar situations and can emphasize with what happened. Here's the god honest truth about male poker players who want to back young female players: They want sex. Don't be naive and think that they don't even if they insist that they don't. In fact, the more they insist that they "respect you" and are just "looking out for your best interests" the faster you should run in the other direction.

Get your life back together. Sounds like you aren't afraid of work so go and work those 2-3 jobs for a while and earn some cash so you can pay your rent.

Good luck.
