I agree with pretty much this entire post. Raymer plays a much different game than I do, and sometimes, like you, I don't "get it," but I don't think the "awful" plays you are seeing are NEARLY as awful as you think. Remember, he's playing an ultra-aggressive style and he's more than willing to take chances to build that stack early in hopes of going DEEP in the tourney (or busting out early). He's not a "try to get into the money" kind of guy. He's playing to win, and once he does get that big stack - look out.
I play a lot more like Hachem. I love Greg's game and I have a LOT of respect for him (I think he's a better player than Hachem), but I'm not comfortable with it... It's just doesn't mesh with my natural style. |

In regards to Raymer, I was reading a thread about him (that he actually posted in) on 2+2 last night.
There have been 5 live tournaments w/ 2000+ players. Ever. Guess who's the only person to play in and cash in all 5? Best big field tourney player ever?????????? I think you can say that. |

5 isn't actually a huge sample size, but that's still pretty awesome.
I REALLY wanted him to Final Table the 2005 Main Event. He was well on his way too. Even after the beat he took, getting as far as he did was a huge accomplishment. |

because of Raymers style he will have alot of FT cashes and alot of early bustouts.
Raymer rather bust out day 1 and not make the money then play 3 days and just miss the money or barely make the money, I can respect that. its not my style of play but I can respect anyone who can play like that and make it work for them. |
