Dude ripped off by a stripper…pretty sure that’s not just a poker phenomenon, but the sad, sad truth about the poker world is that this sociopathic tart was a celebrity. Well, you normal square johns get Britney and Amy Winehouse, we degenerates get Brandi.

In other poker news, Iggs talks about his departure from the poker pro lifestyle. Interesting stuff. I know how he feels - that fourth or fifth day of sitting on your ass for ten hours, looking at and listening to skeezoid degenerates covered in dandruff and smelling like the bed of your pickup truck in mid-summer — well, you have to wonder when it gets all glamorous and the non-psychotic Brandi Hawbakers start massaging your shoulders. God knows I love poker, but there are times when you’re sitting there folding your umpteenth POS hand and you start wondering, “What would my sainted mother think of me?” and you know the answer is that she’d jerk a knot in your tail pretty quick if she knew.

That right there, more than anything, is why I love all my poker blogger brethren (and…sistren?)…99% of them understand that. Still, if there’s someone more temperamentally suited to the grind than Iggy, I don’t know who it would be. Let it be a warning to you, kiddo, if you’re thinking about doing it full-time.
