That's also what mouse told me. He thought she was bs'ing a little because an hour later she was at another table playing and was fine. His opinion was they were happy to back to even and wanted out.
Shane vs Pam T
- Thread starter racefornine
- Start date
I'm sure Shane smiles at the fact that her and her crew went totally bust.
Maybe he's a little upset that he didn't get a little green for his effort, but a the very least, since it was an OBVIOUS move, i'm sure he's had a snicker at their expense.
I know i have.
It's funny when you have someone that is just interested in showing off that they have the balls to get up their and play/bet, and aren't too concerned with actually making a decent game and as a result, they go broke repeatedly.
I love people that pull moves that go bust.
Very entertaining.
When everyone told him he should have made her pay to get out of the game because they had played for a few hours he said he didn't really care about getting money out of it. He just said he won't get involved with them again, especially since she played again later. It wasn't that big of a deal to him, he was more concerned with the tournament and just played her to have something to do.
I really like his style. Life is too short to get stressed-out about certain things. Shane has a laid-back style and demeanor while at the table -- and it appears that his head is definitely screwed on right.
Got to admire that attitude.
That's a class act right there.
Personally, since i am a sick pup, if i would have had them in a bad game or a game i was the favorite in, i would have tortured them every way possible and watched them squirm, punishing them for trying to wriggle their way out of it, or gotten paid.
More power to him.
Don't you worry none about Shane. He is a very bright young man that knows exactly what he is doing at all times. If he isn't sure about something, he will seek proper advice. This is one pool player who will end up with something in life. He understands the principles of saving and investing your money. Pretty advanced for a 25 year old. I wish I was half as smart at that age.
I think if Shane let her off the hook, it was right thing to do. I think to start with he had the nuts in an ahead race, being that she had to be still weak after having a baby two days before.
I'm far from being a saint, but if I knew a women just had a baby two days ago, I wouldn't play her even if I was starving. I have seen many a woman almost hemerage out going back to work too soon after having a baby. Not a pretty sight. I guess I'm just going soft in my old age

Obviously you don't know Pam that well.
I would adopt the exact opposite attitude.
When money is on the line, no one forced her to play. No one twisted her arm or had her at gunpoint telling her to get up there.
If anything, having a baby is one thing, but everyone knowing that and trying to use that fact to an advantage is a MOVE. Obviously, it's gonna work on some people that feel bad or have too much sympathy for someone in her position, which is EXACTLY what she wants.
If you feel bad about your opponent , you shouldn't be gambling with them.
As for any type of hemorrhaging or complications, I wouldn't feel bad AT ALL.
Why? Because it's not my fault in any way if she doesn't decide to rest at home.
Do you really think that SHE is gonna feel bad if she beats someone out of all their money, because they felt bad for her?
No, she's gonna be laughing at them for being such a sucker.
I guess you are right, I'm soft. I never gambled with a guy in a wheelchair either. Johnnyt
after I saw the German Wheelchair Championships, that might not be an easy steal though
Still, if she decided to gamble, it is her thing to decide if she is capable or not...
being played for a sucker
Shane didn't lose anything but a little time. There was no way to know if Pam was really hurting or not until after he let her out of the game and she went and found another one. Too, the constant breaking of a ten ball rack is a little more demanding than breaking a nine ball rack or only breaking on your wins. I'll leave the possibility out there that she really was hurting but felt better later with or without a little better living by DuPont.
From Shane's point of view, and mine, it doesn't really matter. I have often did a little something to help someone knowing it was as likely as not a sucker move. If the people were telling the truth then I really helped somebody if not it really wasn't any major loss to me. Shane did the right thing. Better to be taken advantage of than to do something that would bug you for a long time to come. Pam chose to get in the game but I suspect that taking her money when she claimed to have physical issues with continuing would not have felt right to Shane. Better to keep such things out of the corners of your own mind.
Classy move by Shane, probably just a move by Pam but only she knows for sure.

Call me a cold hearted bast... but I think it would have served her right if Shane hadn't let her off the hook.
I know pool is important and all but where the hell is that womans head?
She just had a baby 2 days before.... ok her health aside, where do you think a responsible mother would have been?
What do I know, maybe she gave it up for adoption or something.
LOL. Believe me, everyone is thinking the same exact thing.
Ouch. I was thinking the baby was in the Hotel room with someone who loves it, when not Mom.
Hello Dr Phil
At least she has her priorities in the right place :scratchhead:
Gambling before Breastfeeding.
Dr. Phil is looking this one up for a future show.
