i appreciate raymer's good manners, but his glasses are unbelievably obnoxious... he played well through the tournament, but he really screwed some people over where he should have gone broke... like against matusow. outside of poker, id like raymer more cuz hes a nice guy. but matusow was a much better player than him, and he lost an important hand against him because raymer hit his draw. raymer is not nearly good enough to make the call matusow did on him, so i respect matusow much more than raymer at the poker table.
and yeah he did get lucky in a LOT of coin flips... which is annoying, because he would force people with small pairs into coinflip situations when raymer had AK or AQ, and he would always win the coinflip. this was completely justifiable later in the tournament when he had a giant chiplead over other people, but it just seems like he got lucky in a few coinflip hands to get the chiplead, then the rest of the tournament was idiot-proof. just my opinion... i tend to hate people that a lot of other people love, dont get offended by my comments plz. -jB Last edited by johnbaker; 11-26-04 at 05:05 PM. |

Matusow blew up and it was a matter of time before someone took his stack. Thats a fact all the table noted when he busted out to raymer. Matusow aint a great player, never see him get far on TV tournys. He talks a really good game but that type of poker player is justing getting outplayed now by internet players that dont give a fuk when some pro tries to intimidate them. The new breed will move all in and show little respect for semibluffs and bullying tactics. Matusow also lucked a few times before he met his match, remember one hand he made a bad call and got lucky with a 7 on the river to save his ass. |

A few things:
- Why are his glasses obnoxious, just because there is a reflective image? It's not an image of a girls tits or something someone would find offensive. Additionally, he even let Mattias try them on. He saw that people were reacting to them ... so he kept wearing them. - To win any big tournament, you have to win more than your fair share of coinflips. - Raymer might not have made the call that Matusow made, but Raymer plays aggressive poker. He's great to watch, in my opinion. - I don't LOVE Raymer. I don't know if anyone on here does...

I don't know how you can not like someone because they got lucky in a poker tourney. That's ridiculous. If that's how you feel, you shouldn't like any winning poker player!
As for that "great call" by Matusow, I actually thought it was a terrible call. Yes, he was a SLIGHT favorite... but he pushed ALL HIS CHIPS in - his tournament life - when he was just a SLIGHT favorite. That's a bad play, IMO. He had plenty of chips and didn't need to do anything stupid like that. |
