Snamuh 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I read this earlier. I'm guessing Raymer took a series of beats/coolers, one of which would have made him the chipleader. Just some built up frustration in one of the biggest tournies. Link to post Share on other sites

Jrobb25 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Raymers response:Matusow had nothing to do with it. Prior to this pot, I had been bad beat out of 3 pots with over 300K chips in them, so I was a super-short stack instead of being the chip leader. Mike happened to win the hand that eliminated me, but my reaction was simply the result of frustration after entering 25 WSOP events, and getting bad beat out of 24 of them. While it is no excuse for tearing up the card, I'm basically 100% sure that everybody reading this would have a negative reaction if they had been subjected to my run of beats for the last month.If you were offended by what I did, my apologies. But it's really not that big of a deal.Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan) Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJon 175 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 watOn about a 22 buyin downswing right now, starting at the $10 NL, then moved down to $5 NL, and now playing $2 NL and $2PLO.This is my first real downswing, and I don't really like it. Link to post Share on other sites

Gaffer 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 $5 dollars makes u go insane just spent the last hour grinding a table that was tight as tits man made 2 dollars, they folded to every pre flop raise , every bet on turn, i just couldnt take no more so Link to post Share on other sites

For too long I've made deposits and taken shots and gone broke. I guess I was sick of it all. A poster on here (who I won't name) sent me a small stake and that got me started, of course the downswing didn't help much.I still take shots every once in awhile, but now they're a bit more calculated. For example, if I have a good couple of days and make like $15-$20, I might play a higher SNG or MTT than I usually do, and still leave myself with some profit. Link to post Share on other sites

Grinding on the micro mtt's/sng's until the roll gets big enough to play higher cash. Link to post Share on other sites

Nimue1995 1 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Okay now you're making me have to check on My Space and see what Mike has to say in his bulletin about it. Maybe you all would be happier if Raymer just ate his last chip instead,lol. At least then the table would still be playing with a full deck. Link to post Share on other sites
RuntCake 0 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hey all, here's a shot of Raymer at the table from my photo-journalism/interview/donk-off-half-my-roll trip to the WSOP this year...http://www.flickr.com/photos/runtcake/2602470565/I think this also makes the point that there is a finite amount of add space on a poker player...even a large one.enjoy the rest of the photos too at http://www.flickr.com/photos/runtcake/ Link to post Share on other sites

I think you have an unhealthy respect for private property, particularly since the rio goes through, or, about 10 K decks of cards a day. I'm not saying what Raymer did was mature or acceptable behavior, but to " drop below the crud in a mustard jar's cap" for tearing a card in frustration is just absurd. It's not like they lost the formula for decks of cards, and that was the last known deck or something. Link to post Share on other sites
