As has been recently reported Brandi Hawbaker has been found dead, apparently commiting suicide aged 26.

As I didnt know here personally I've put up some links in the poker blog to other sites who were far more involved in her rollercoaster of a life ...

she was an up and coming poker player not only was she decent she was also a hottie, its a shame someone that young took their own life, it makes you sometimes take your own life into perspective
cheers

RIP Ms Hawbaker, May Your GOD go with You.

I am so glad this forum did not join in the Public Character Assasination, that OTHER forums have done!

Peace be with You

The Gypsy.

hi

Well as I didnt know her I would definately not want to try and begin to understand her rather complicated life -

Its obviously very sad news ... however some may view her at other forums and I definately dont want to get involved in saying anything negative about someone who I didnt know

I'll leave the whole ups and downs for others with far more ideas and experience ... suffice to say its a shame when anyone feels they have to take their own life especially at a young age

I think there are maybe alot of "in" references to things only a few really know about like in the video tribute on youtube we've put on the blog - I dont pretend to understand the odd things in there but I would hope that given the events that a tribute is a genuine one - and we certainly wouldnt trivalise something like this

cheers scrawnybob
