Poker Mac

Have you seen it? The newest Bond is a great flick. Gone are the gadgets and baloney that have increasingly marred recent Bonds. This filim is well constructed, beautifully constructed with a great cast. What appeals most in this flick are the characters – Bond is as smarmy as Connery was, and his leading lady is just as smarmy right back.

Interestingly, the film is full of poker. Gone is the Baccarat. No limit Texas Holdem seems to be the game of choice of British spys, Felix Leiter and the CIA, and all of their nefarious opponents. Yeah, perhaps the dealer should have separated pots when there were four people all-in, but it wouldn’t have mattered because everybody knows Bond is going to take it down.

The only major problem with the movie is his vfib arrest due to dig toxicity at the grand finale poker showdown in Montenegro. This will not respond to defibrillation – although the AED attempt was valiant. I think what he needed was digibind — but what can you do — maybe that’s what he injected in his neck…but why would MI6 include that in the glove compartment first aid kit?

Forget about Annie Duke, Evelyn Ng and Shana Hiatt, Full Tilt cover girl, Brandi Hawbaker, has arrived. Her story is one of crime, sexual depravity, Dutch Boyd as a shining white knight, Dutch Boyd as a backstabbing patent peddler, Doyle Brunson as the kind heart he is known to be, 100K from Full Tilt for the photo at right and more… You have to read the original 2+2 thread to get the full flavor – but it is a half million posts long so you might not make it that far.

CLIFF NOTES by one of the 2+2 posters

1. Brandi gives man who calls himself “Captain Tom” her entire roll of 12 G’s.

2. The Captain is sort of like a grandfather to Brandi, but soon he turns evil and rubs his manhood against her back while they are sharing a hotel room.

3. Captain allegedly wants a BJ or more to give back the money.

4. Brandi get back 3K of the 12, but has to snuggle with the old man. He continues to teqach her. Brandi sticks around.

5. Captain Tom is allegedly really into much younger women.

6. Brandi goes to Doyle Brunson, he gives her 2 grand out of the kindness of his heart.

7. Brandi tried to OD herself and is suicidal and depressed.

8. Phil Gordon gives Brandi money, but she gets her BMW repossessed and eats a thanksgiving meal alone.

9. Brandi is pissed and out for revenge. She punches a dude and has a panic attack.

Pauly is planning a full book on it.
