But 3-betting A-K and charging all the way isn't my thing. I'm more likely to fold it. So I'm a weak hold'em player with unexpected strengths. The reason they bitched about the limp/shove is it isn't easy to control.

I no longer post meta-game plays, whether they work, or not. The reason is that I knew what I was doing and way too many people here think one-dimensionally. The only time it's effective is when the setup is well described before the trap. It also involves a lot of reading their state-of-mind, betting patterns, tells and just plain gut feel. On the occasion, someone does all that to try and educate others, they're misunderstood, lectured on their bad play, or accused of making a brag post. The OP then gets defensive and the thread degrades fast and sometimes gets locked.
So, I would advise against posting any hand that involves a meta-game play. However, if you insist, then it should be made painfully clear in the initial part of the post.
