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

[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.

Yeah, he gets it in as a 60/40 4handed instead of as a 75/25 5handed, he's locked up an extra £6k or whatever, but he knocks out bellamy with the AK when he's crushing his range then he busts him and ladders = 4handed/extra £6k/lots more chips = chance to win more.

Surely regardless of how much u need the money this is a much much better spot than a silly flip for 20bigs 2 levels later

It's obviously a terrible play even when you consider the points made in the OP, in fact they almost make it a worse play as he has not only burnt K's in tourney equity but lost a % of his stack in the process.

This has already been said 40x but no-one has EVER suggested anything personal towards Shaun. So why are people saying stuff like "these mocking have never had £20k score and probably never will?"

If I was playing id have fist-pumped, stood up done a backflip and called my mum to tell her what an easy call I was abut to make. I wasnt - because I "didn't make it that far, and dont have a £20k score and probly never will".  He didn't (and has had a £20k score) and everyone else has said he should have (which he should)

 /Thread surely?

^^WHAT A LOAD OF BS^^^ :S@!"££!"@":

pretty much my thoughts, although the technical error is likely gleemed by a lack of understanding of game theory as much as playing "scared" so to speak. Nonetheless nice score sir and gl in the future.

Sorry to spoil the fun.

There's some good stuff in the overnight posts. However there is some stuff we don't want to see on the forum. For example, flaming eg calling people retards and pricks, and then retaliation in kind.

If people can make their points without resorting to personal attacks, then good. I appreciate the OP of this thread got some backs up, so am off to ponder how to solve some people wanting a right of reply to that, and the manner they chose to do it in!

Sry for the bAd language tighty, ur right not the time and place really but I got mad and ranted. Sry again

Can u remove my last post too as it is in reference to the previous stuff, anyway what's done is done cba to argue anymore over something that won't be resolved without a sword fight to the death( jokes)  or something similar, I'll just be sure to keep my headphones firmly in when I meet mr king at the tables

It's possible that the internet police still have them.

Jason H - you're like a broken record!

I've checked wikileaks, nothing there. apparently the use of the word retard is too much even for them

i was just putting my point of view cos. i would appreciate if you would put my post back up. i was bigging up shaun for not following the masses and may have been a  little hurtfull to karl but i am sure this is a fourum...how many of the posts were deleted having a go at shaun. i just recieved this from karl
"Ty for making me look like a broke ass pos Jason, I'm not sure why u felt the need to comment on my financial situation in that thread, non of ur business but it's doing ok thanx, I only ever played with you once at poker that I can remember at the Irish open and I can't remember chatting much at all. I'm sure u meant ...wat u said in with good intentions however it came across as douschey and basically undermined my entire content of the thread and made me look like a total prick. " i will say sorry on here to karl for making him feel this way and will try to resolve the situation next time i see him. but i think he may have made himself look like this with his post.
this is one of the best forums  (so i am told by my wife ) for following live play and was shocked to hear that they may not be doing the dtd thing anymore...talking to rob this is in the main part is due to the fact that the "blondes" were not showing their support for the club. if they got off their arse n played poker at dtd  then maybe rob would have continued the relationship...i hear that dtd do have £15 freezeouts that would suit the pockets of 90% of the blondes. i think 1 have posted 20 times on here and prob 15 of those were to show support for ray even doing the newcastle avatar. to have a post removed really annoyed me and i question if it would have been done if i was a hero member with 90k posts.
business is business and views are views but fuck me karl is a big boy and can take it as well as give it.

[smashedagain]

and i actually only knew about this thread coz karl posted on facebook that it he thought it could be epic
