to be honest, i really dont see a reason why people shouldnt like raymer. i dont know him at all, except for the tv coverage, but he came off as a real professional when he played. you might disagree with his style, or dispute the legitimacy of his sunglasses, but i dont think that there is any criticism that you can make of him in regeards to his demeanor at the tables.
inn addition, he has been a valuable poster on rgp for a while. he actually adds something to the discussion. |

Hes a good guy. Played in the WSOP before. Got lucky a lot on his 50/50s. But, he just doesn't seem to bring much excitement to the table. So as you saw in the WSOP final table, they made it a 1 ep, because not much excitement.

That's not really the whole story though....you gotta realize it was the shortest final table time wise ever, since they started filming a 9 handed final table instead of 6 handed as they did for years. Plus, within 7 hands it went from 3 handed to over. The whole final table was over in like 4 hours if i recall correctly...it wasnt a marathon. Raymer's marketability or personality wasnt the reason the final table was only 1 episode, it was lack of play to work with.
