Dirty Old Man

Here is another story that got more press around the blogs than the Ultimate Bet scandal. It may be old news now but never too old for a comic.

David Sklansky already had a legacy. It was being known as one of the game’s most respected authors. And until recently his dirty old man exploits remained for the most part, private. That is until he decided to let the world know how dirty he really was. Things just sort of spiraled out of control and ended up with 2+2 banning just about everyone involved or might have known someone involved. Including David.

What is it about Brandi Hawbaker that turns seemingly smart men into complete morons? So called “world class poker players” are supposed to be experts at reading people. What happened here? Brandi may be thought of as scandalous and skeezy but the men enabling her are the ones with the real problems. It isn’t like her exploits are unknown either. The next poker player who falls into her web deserves every bit of what he gets. And you know… not all of it can be cured with penicillin.

Stay away from Brandi Hawbaker. And stay away from the dirty old men.

Kahnawake releases statement on scandals

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Comic first appeared on 1/18/08

You know… at first I thought that the recent PPA statement was genuine but after this one yesterday from Kahnawake I am convinced it is all just pre-60 minutes damage control.   Everyone now appears to be running around with their heads cut off distancing themselves from what most think will be a scathing report about the online game.

Where were these people months ago when I was screaming FOUL at the top of my lungs?

I guess it won’t be too long before the shills at Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet start releasing their distancing statements.  Seif?  Hellmuth?

Speaking of FOUL.   It seems Poker”News” no longer hosts ads for UB or AP and is now running headline stories on the scandals.     Where were they months ago when it was oh I dunno…. News?

All of a sudden they are crying “ethics” over this Tiffany Michelle fiasco. HILL-LAIR-REE-OUS

It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife…

Speaking of hilarious..   Have you seen the attack ads McCain has launched?  One in particular was so outrageous that I was convinced that it was from a 3rd party until I heard….  “I’m John McCain, and I approved this message.”

You heard it right folks….   Obama is to blame for high gas prices.

The old man is really reaching huh?

McCain is a buffoon.

What is this world coming to!
