Shaun King, Gives his view on playing AK badly at Monte Carlo Final table

[TightEnd]

From the updates it did appear as thou ray was shove botting and reshoving! Interesting to hear what he had where tighty said he looked like he didn't want the call!

Ray confirmed to me afterwards he had a very marginal hand, no call required!

Also said he would go through the updates and fill in some blanks  on the shoves(presumably when he has sobered up!)

Will he remember the details by 8th Jan 2011?

lol. the title of the thread just made me cringe, then his reply was a kinda like fu at the forum post, bringing deadman into it?? pulled it around with the family part, but then still has backbites at the forum still.

The hand is history, thread done imo.

Only mistake here is showing the AK, gives the haters something to latch onto.

Dont know you, but very well done on your cash, enjoy it.

am i missing something here?

At point on the updates were people "hating" when 80 poker people are all watching some poker, the poker is gonna get commented on

no said anything personal/vindictive or even remotely rude to Shaun on a personal level, just commented on the poker - i cant see why that is even remotely a problem

I got upto Tikay's post then decided I'd post my thoughts on "that" hand.

I think maybe people should realise that the money is pretty important to some and can affect how they play which is understandable.My only personal thought was if this was how you felt which It'd seem so then I couldn't understand why you 3bet pre when you could've just called and underrepped your hand then folded if you missed.I went to tell Rich the details of the hand and you holded the cards up and I tried to bet Rich that you'd fold it,sigh that he managed to fade it.

I'll post on my diary thread how I played etc so as to not derail this one

lolz at haters

[MC]

Yeah congratulations etc, but one thing that nobody has cared to mention in the lovefest...

Buying into the tournament directly if you're gonna fold in this kinda spot 4 handed means that you're probably -EV in the tournament

Probably not a great family-based decision to enter the tournament on that premis...

[SuuPRlim]

^^^ reasonable point - this whole thread makes pretty cringing reading IMO

The bits about simon deadman in the OP is just palm to face stuff.

The people telling you ignore the haterz when they aren't any is bizzare as well

all very strange

Yeah, the thread has tilted me rather lots, have tried to avoid posting.

It makes no sense to me that folding was the correct thing to do for his family, unless they don't like money.

Whilst I understand the motives, the logic is completely flawed, and no-one seems to have said that. The best decision for the family is going to be the play that makes the most money.

This spot is being to compared to the guy who folded Aces and Kings in The Big Game, which I can totally understand, but this situation is no-where near the same.

Not being to hijack and be a douche, I'm sure OP is a nice guy and it's great for him to have won this money, but just don't quite understand the mentality of the thread that's all.

no, you're not missing anything. I agree with you entirely but haven't posted as these threads are so tilting where everyone goes off on one about something that never even happened
