Sigh only if I can use my winnings well

[Rupert]

we could just fold preflop if we want to ladder rather than 3b/f

well done on your result

[Royal Flush]

Surely we just flat the open if we are laddering?

I don't understand how you can be surprised Tikay, if someone does something so stand out bad then how do you expect people not to comment on it in an interactive thread?

[George2Loose]

WD Shaun. Agree with a lot of whats been said. Understand why your laddering but wouldnt be 3 bet/folding AK and deffo would not be showing it.

I don't understand how you construe it as simply "comment" Dr NitRoll Demps.

It is possible, surprising as it may seem, to comment, educate, or correct people, without doing it rudely, mockingly, or telling them they are idiots or donkeys. It's also probably a good idea, now & then, to try wearing someone else's shoes.   

PS - Set of 2's indeed....... Got me good & proper Sir.

Some very good posts on this thread. Congrats on the result Shaun. I have one question, did you consider Shaun69ak instead of Shaun69uk? 

[shaun69uk]

Cheers George, I 3 bet because i thought he was weak, I was right he had KQ, I just played that 1 hand sooooooooooooooo bad and that my final comment on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shaun69uk]

LOL @ Pellham Boy, I'm sure somewhere down the road of the not to distant future something will stick and have a A and a K in it, they can be a brutal bunch at DTD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should have called, same spot again, family, hindsite I call. It was just one of those hands I played with a non poker head on for a 3 minute period. I can't justify my poor play. I was just trying to give an insight into what was in my head. And I want all of you to consider this. Charlotte my partner is an ex dealer and she plays a little to. If you think that anything on here on is painfull. You wanna be in my shoes at home.................. she thinks I'm the biggest donk ever!!!

I live and learn, so next time my friend I call.

I love this. you played a hand badly in an attempt to ladder/lock up some money for your family but then get grief for doing it when you get home to the family. lose/lose

We've already changed your name to Ace, Mr.King lol

Seriously bud, play your own game ...... it seemed to work, just remember the critics are the ones already on the rail.

In your initial post, you said you shouldn't have shown, that should be the end of the story. On the plus side, the next final table no one will know wtf you are doing, so all good 

Take care

POTY IMO

Works on so many levels!

(Sean that's post of the year, I'm not calling you potty!)

[toddswain]

Fair play Shaun, i was under the impression you was 3bet/folding off like a 15bb stack, which would be just the worst, your reasonings make sense and i myself may view things diff if i had a family to look after, gl in the £300 and in the future.


Ps, that aggro lanky guy at the start is just a massive douche, doubt hes a winning player, just has a bankroll from playing lead roll in superbad, ignore him next time

[titaniumbean]

Shaun you're a lovely guy and i'm very glad for you


You also know I speak my mind and talk cack alot, I have no problem with the laddering idea in and of itself, but i'm sure I commented in the thread because as Flushy and others have said if you were laddering it's in your best interest to 1; not 3 bet and fold giving away more chips and 2; to never ever show it because that is ridic in so many ways, you're already up against an Ellwood, he isn't real as it is, you cant keep giving him information every hand aswell!

I'm delighted Charlotte is going to give you rubs about it because that's hilarious!! hehehe. Have a good Christmas

[shaun69uk]

Todd................ yeah mate, to be fair I thought he was a rude f**k. but hey ho
