The Brandi Hawbaker (BrandiRose) Story
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.
I’ve seen this photo all over the poker net, I thought it was pretty damn hot; and I also thought she was just some drunken girl posing for her boyfriend outside a bar.
No she’s the lovely Brandi Rose Hawbaker - ain’t she a peach?
You might consider contacting me before you even begin to think about writing a book about my daughter. While I do believe in the “freedom of speech” issues, the poker world only knew my daughter 2 brief years, and most of what has been written over the internet about her is complete trash and untrue. Even Jen and Brandon’s final tribute to her while it touches somewhat around truth issues about my daughter they are off the mark. BrandiRose wrote to me in Oct. of last year about what was happening to her over the internet. My daughter wrote to me the evening/early morning before her 26th Birthday on March 25, 2008, just weeks before she died. I did not receive her letter until 4/29/08. The internet world really knows little about what happened with my daughter. While the math does not add up in the normal sense, it did for BrandiRose. BrandiRose holds her father, Timothy {Tim} James Hawbaker {I} 100% responsible for her committing suicide. BrandiRose holds her “step-mother” Veronica Ford Hawbaker 100% responsible for her comitting suicide. Her dad spoke to her two days before she died. BrandiRose signed off stating that her “step-mother” would never see her again. Most people dont’ know that her dad and her “step-mother” per BrandiRose were forcing her to pay them rent, just for living in her stepmom’s house when Tim moved to Nashville, TN. BrandiRose was still a Sr. in High School at the time. I don’t know how much more classic you can get to the “EVIL STEP-MOTHER” role than this. Most people don’t know that her own dad put her out on the street at 17, basically because BrandiRose knew too much. In 2003 the summer before BrandiRose’s grandmother passed away, BrandiRose called me frequently. In one conversation she stated that her dad wouldn’t ruin his “meal ticket”. Meaning Veronica Ford came from old New York money. And that Tim had to get rid of BrandiRose because she knew too much and that BrandiRose was a risk because she would blow his most recent con job. Other than myself, the L.A. Coroner’s office, and the L.A. Police department most don’t know the actual circumstances surrounding my daughter’s death. In addition BrandiRose holds the Internet harassment she was receiving by every sick pervert out there 100% responsible for her taking her life. That includes Tom Franklin and David Sylanski or however in the hell that sick pervert’s last name is spelled. Hope these two burn forever in hell for exploiting, using, and abusing my daughter. BrandiRose holds Brandon 20% responsible for her taking her life. And he is a guy who claimed / claims he loved my dauather. Guess he didn’t bother to go back and look at all the trash and videos he and Bryan Micon put out on the internet about her, before he and Jen made their little tribute to her. What Brandon did to my daughter is not love. He clearly doesn’t know the meaning of Love. Suggest he look it up in the Bible in I Cor. 13 before he makes any more statements to this effect. And finally BrandiRose holds Bryan Micon 20% responsible as well. That adds up to 340% in BrandiRose’s mind at the time of her death. As far a Jen is concerned BrandiRose had nothing to say about the girl, but did mention her friend Poppy from highschool. If anyone knows Poppy’s current address and / or phone number I would appreciate her contacting me as BrandiRose had some final messages for her which I would like to see that she receives. As far as who “stole” took possession of BrandiRose’s little dog “Princeton”, her little dog was suppose to be secured through the L.A. Police Department into Estate Services Protection to be claimed by next of kin, which did not happen in this case. Even in my daughter’s death people continue to exploit her, use her, steal from her. Which really is quite sad to be completely honest. Guess none of you out there have any respect at all for the dead.
