does anyone here like raymer?

[Talking Poker]

Penguinfan adressed your nonsense in the other paragraph, so I'll address this one. Again, I think you are way off base. Matusow DID put Raymer on he flush draw with overcards (at least I think he did - when he cards were turned over he said he knew that's what he had). Yes, he had the best hand right then, but certainly not much much.... It wasn't much ore than a coinflip. And he CALLED all his chips in. This is a bad call, if you ask me. Plain and simple. He had plenty of chips and time to wait for a better situation to CALL his money in (this is so much diferent than if he had pushed in first, of course).

You say there's no reason not to make that call.... How's this for a reason: Nearly half the time you make that call, your tournament will be over. Done. End of WSOP. Yeah, I think that's a pretty good reson.

from what he said after the hand, he just knew that raymer had overcards. he never would have made that call if he had put raymer on suited overcards, because raymer would be a favorite over him.
