Down to Business... Serious Business
Serious business indeed, Georgey.I am officially back on the Internets from our new house. It took a few days and a few bumps in the road to get myself back onto interweb but I'm back for good now. Thankfully my Ali-like return to online poker went fairly well despite one crappy setup hand early in the session. I played less than a thousand hands and made a couple buyins. I'm happy to report that I'm back in the green for the month and I'm going to make a mad dash to the finish line and try to earn a few bucks before year's end.
Christmas is upon us and of course I haven't bought anything for anyone. My folks are tough to shop for and I know what I want to get for my sister but the Nintendo Wiis are nowhere to be found. If anyone has found a hot deal on them, let me know.
If you're clueless about the online poker world, then chances are you haven't heard of the Brandi Hawbaker drama on 2+2. At the time of this blog entry, the Brandi thread has nearly 4200 replies and 117,000+ views.
The rumors George is hearing are likely from the Brandi thread, which will undoubtedly go down in online poker history as one of the wildest rollercoaster rides ever composed on a poker message board. It has everything you could ask for in a thread. Reading it will invoke laugher, compassion, anger, and there are even some naked pictures of the crazy bitch herself.
I won't go into too much detail about the contents of the thread because any attempt would be futile at best, but here's the 50,000 ft view. Basically this female, Brandi Hawbaker burts onto the poker scene and cashes in a couple tournaments. Since she's a female poker player, isn't ugly, and has a flirty personality, she naturally gets loads of attention from the poker world (composed mostly of old fat guys and internet nerds...so it's not tough to imagine why she's the latest sensation). The story of the thread starts off as her claiming she's been victimized in a few different ways and throughout the winding stories and the super sluething done by 2+2's finest, the "truth" (or some version of it) comes to light and a myriad of insults, wild claims, photoshopped pictures, naked Brandi, and everything in between gets thrown into this trainwreck of a thread.
If you've got hours to burn it really is a sight to see. And if you aren't familiar with this thread, you'll surely be out of the loop (and who doesn't want to stay 'in the know' in online poker circles?).
For those of you that don't have hours to burn, here's a much shorter version of the Brandi thread where someone managed to compile all the highlights into one place.
Here's the second installment of a condensed version of the latest updates to the thread.
Pretty funny stuff.
Later,
Aaron
