What happens if newhizzle tries to log into his account and calls Stars support before the freezeout is over?

*golf clap*

I concur

LOL...disturbing.

2+2 is so surreally ludicrous.

I have no idea as to what any of this is about, but do you have any nude or really hot pics of her?

Or does anyone have any wild photoshop pics?

lol

Sometimes I cringe when I read DS posts and other times, like this, I think he is levelling us more than we realise

It was the hand histories that convinced me that Brandi was the one doing the most lying. The play was awful and not skilled player drug induced tilt awful. Just horrible call downs and bluffing in bad situations; it was painfully obvious it was an inexperienced player making those decisions.

We know from the hand histories that:

The loses occurred doing a single time period.
They were at stakes that Mark never plays.
No one could imagine Mark having any part in the decision making revealed in those hand histories.

In order for Brandi's story to be truthful we have to believe that Mark sat behind her telling her what to do while she lost 4-5K. Then Mark continued playing on his own, at stakes well below his normal limit, until his account was busto. And Mark choose to lie about the entire situation.

I have not seen them, but Mark says he has text messages (and can show you them today) from Brandi claiming she was winning (was she texting him while he sat next to her?) and we have people who have verified that Mark was playing in the card room at the time of these hand histories.

Combine the above with Brandi's generally nutty behavior and her presence at the center of drama in several different situations and you have the reason why the posters on this site almost universally believe that Brandi is a pathological liar.



Was what she did outright theft? Depends how you define theft, I guess. No, she didn't chip dump to a friend or transfer the money to someone or put a gun to his head. But she did chase loses with someone else's money while telling them she was winning. She knows that if she had told Mark, 'hey I'm down 5K, mind if I go play 100/200?' he would have said no.

Sure seems like theft to me.

I will play in a 5k freezeout against brandi if we make it 10/20 or 25/50 blinds. With 100/200 blinds it will be too much of a crapshoot. I also object to the giving of odds in this match, if you think you could coach her into being a good player then she shouldn't deserve odds.

I will play this if you give my your word that you will not be speaking to Brandi while the match is being played. I have no way of proving that you are not coaching her as the match would be played online but I will trust you on your honor as a gambler that no one will give her advice while the match is being played.

I have sent you a PM about setting up this match. Please let me know when you want it to be played.

David Sklansky, I would like to say you have my moral support, and I can now read twoplustwo.com without feeling dirty (not that there's anything wrong with that!).

Thank you for sharing my moral beliefs and not conducting yourself in anyway that I would consider scandalous.

Gimme two dimes on the Over.

Over, not even close unless it gets locked.

Someone needs to photoshop a poster of Pygmalion, starring David Sklansky as Henry Higgins and Brandi Hawbaker as Eliza Doolittle.

I went to some the Pokerstars lounge last year went DS was giving a poker seminar. It turned out to be for total noobs and blatant promotion for his book. Anyways, he kept talking about things in terms of small blinds. Like he would say if you are on the button and you have 20 small blinds it might be correct to go allin with whatever you are holding. My friends and I were pretty confused by his reference to small blinds rather than big blinds.

Cleary this is relevant to this discussion.

What about 10/20, with 6-5 odds, live and not online?

Maybe thats why he offered a 100/200 $5000 freezeout. After all that is 50 small blinds.

Go David! I'm pulling for you. During my mid-life crisis, the twenty-five year olds were nearly over the hill. Chase all the young pussy you can, while there is time.

This should be a live match. I'm just wondering how David came up with the 6/5 odds. if she really turned 1k into 200k with his tutoring as she claims then we should be getting at least 4/1.

I think you will find the answer to the $1K--->$200K puzzle in the SMP forum thread "Did I Do Wrong?" - just requires a little bit of extrapolation.

Thats a great god damn line
