Interesting HU 100-200 hand

[Shawn Keller]

I agree with Michael Davis completely on that naphand's post is one of the best posts I've read of all time not just all year, I was thinking exactly that right after I read it and then I read your post next Michael and I.

I'm too tired right now to make a detailed reply to your post naphand. but I would like to apologize for any disprect or arrogance I may have inadvertently shown to the forum. I understand that many people do not know who I am (although they know Thunder is my twin brother, and that while they may know I win at the 100-200 game on pokerstars they also know that doesn't mean I'm a great teacher. I have years of experience teaching poker and breaking down hands, its actually one of if not my strongest points, my lack of tilt susceptibility would be perhaps my strongest point.

I have received several inquires about my services but also a few really nasty responses, as well as thebruiser's retard thread ect. I hope I didn't sink to there level, I don't doubt that Daryn is a solid player if he is willing to play me headsup 15-30. I'm ambivalent about playing him at any those stakes because as a true professional I look for weak opponents not opponents I assume to be skilled. I don't play poker to "beat the best" or prove that I'm the best, I play poker to make money and I like to play against weak competition. I don't have an big ego like some certain plays I just smile and take the money. Only when someone talks badly about my game do I challenge them, and yes you are correct I assumed he wouldn't accept but I really don't think I should be expected to play him that low stakes, the lowest stakes game I played yesterday for example was 80-160 headsup, then some 100-200 on PS, and 200-400 hu on UB. I would prefer if you gain my resepct from the quality of my posts and not through playing me headsup.

I whole heartedly agree with your theme of respecting the headsup-up and short-handed forum even though I didn't post a lot I've actually been a registered member longer than you have, I remember back when there was less "noise" and more valuable dicussion in most of the other forums and I would like the atmosphere to remain as friendly and conducive to learning poker theory as possible.

Please read my new 100-200 hand I posted in the headsup section I also posted a detailed description of why I played the hand in a post afterwards that I think you will find interesting.

Peace,

Shawn "Lightning" Keller
