We’re not ones to trade in mere speculation or hearsay, or at least we don’t when we can’t substantiate it somehow, but last night we received a comment to
Here’s what the commenter
You may want to know that Brandi Hawbaker (of semi-recent poker drama) died earlier this week. She was 26 years old.
I do not know any more than that, including how she died or any circumstances of her death, or even if there is a funeral planned. Even if I did know, it’s nobody’s business but her family and friends.

First, let us just say that we hope this isn’t in any way true. Second, we have every reason to believe it isn’t true as it would surely be on one of the poker forums already, posted by someone who knows her way better than we do, and we have absolutely no reason to trust this random commenter who we don’t know from Adam and who has never commented on our site in the past.
But the truth is we haven’t seen Brandi (aka Naami Dea) around the past month or so, she hasn’t played on FTP in awhile and after trying to contact her this morning, she has not yet reached back to us.
So we figured we’d ask . . . if you know anything, give us a shout.
Also, please don’t link to this post. We’re not interested in incoming links based on the baseless rumor of someone’s passing. Just if you know something, email us or comment. Or discuss elsewhere.

Gotta admit, we kind of saw this coming.
With the latest Brandi Hawbaker dramabomb
And by "people," we mean "people who write about the latest Brandi Hawbaker dramabomb."
NWP’s Bryan Micon has been banned. Dan Druff was banned as well, much to the protest of 2+2′ers. And we’ve received emails from none other than Brandi herself revealing other bans because they are a "Known Brandi Hawbaker associate."
A forum is a forum and a business is a business. If you want to ban someone from your site it’s well within your rights to do so, no matter how douchy it is.
And we get some of the motivation as to why the bans are happening. When people are posting private photos/saying thing about someone that you probably didn’t want ever getting out–and for good reason, which is why we won’t post or link to those photos despite receiving emails about it from numerous people–then you could see this all unfolding and realize it was about to get ugly.
But like we posted last week,
We are also not happy with the performance of David Sklansky. From his point of view he was just trying to defend his family life, and I can emphatically state that the many problems and issues that have been stated on some of these forums are not true. However, in response to all of this, David has promised me not to post for a while, and when he does return, he will stick to strategy topics in the appropriate strategy forums where he certainly has a lot to offer. I will personally make sure that this is the case.
Read that full post here.
If there’s a moral to this whole story it’s this: Since the beginning of time, pretty girls always have always caused wars, and it’s still happening today, even if it’s juvenile banning wars involving a 60 year-old man on a poker forum.

In the latest 2+2 dramabomb, David Sklansky goes into detail about some alleged blackmail/threatening/panty and pube shaving (NSFW) incident with WCP fave crazy girl Brandi Hawbaker.
First, let’s just get this out of the way: David Sklansky is freaking 60 years-old. Eventually and at some stage, there comes a time in a man’s life (like when he’s 60) to stop trolling forums (even if it’s your own forum) and posting sorted details of your personal (sex) life with women 30 to 40 years younger than you. Especially when it’s not a sex forum for old dudes but a poker forum.
And even if one of those women is threatening you.
Sklansky starts thel latest dramabomb thread by writing:
For the last 2 1/2 years I have been living with a handicapped 23 year old girl named Sue. She is blind in one eye and partially blind in the other. She is slightly disfigured, slightly autistic, and has frequent seizures. She can’t drive and can’t distinguish left from right. The cause of these things is that she is the product of incest. But she has an IQ of 125, is very artistic and loves everybody. She especially loved Brandi and was also attracted to her.
He then goes on to say that after a post by Brandi slamming him was deleted on 2+2, Brandi threatened him with an email she asked to have forwarded to 2+2 Publishing owner Mason Malmuth:
If my thread is not put back up ~ OR if you EVER delete another post or thread of mine again (and ban me) ~ I will make sure that same post is on every single other poker forum out there… I’m going to do an interview with Wicked Chops and Raw Vegas Tv and NWP and Bankroll Boost and Pocket
5s on Monday IF my thread is not posted back on the forum.
To which we say, bring it on
Sklansky then pulls an Eminem 8 Mile scenario where he airs all of his dirty laundry before Brandi can. For example, he confirms the story about a vibrator he pulled out of his glove compartment and put between Brandi’s legs.
Anyway, a summary by us does not nearly do the whole Sklanksy write-up justice, so please go to 2+2 and read it for yourself.
And look for an interview with Brandi sometime in the near future (maybe).
