ajs510 122 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Um...he won more pots than he lost, thus accumulating other players chips as they packed their bags to go home?Just spitballing, but it seems logical to me. Link to post Share on other sites

Canuckickstan 2 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Richard Sharpe Eliminated in 13th Place ($30,555) Log: Greg Raymer raises, and Richard Sharpe moves all in over the top for $87,000. Raymer calls almost instantly, and Sharpe shows Ac-Kc. Raymer shows 10h-10s. Classic race as we head to the flop. The flop comes Ad-2s-3c, and Raymer falls way behind. The turn is the Jh, and Raymer is down to his last two outs. He needs a 10 and a 10 only for the win. Must be the mojo of a world champion because the 10d spikes on the river. Raymer hits his set, and sends Richard Sharpe home in 13th place. "I'm either a genius or a moron with that call" - Greg Raymer Log: Greg Raymer makes it $22,000 to go preflop. David Slowik calls. The flop comes 10h-8s-6s. Slowik checks, and Raymer makes it $35,000. Slowik thinks for a moment, and then moves all in for about $190,000. Raymer goes into the tank, occasionally coming up to chat with Slowik, or more aptly chat at him. Slowik doesn't move, and Raymer inspects him for a while before announcing, "call." Slowik shows Qc-9c for no pair, and a double gutshot straight draw. Raymer flips up the 7c-6c, for a pair of 6's, and a gutshot. The turn brings the Kd, and Raymer's sixes are hanging on tight. The river is the 2h, and Raymer's sixes hold up, prompting a number of "What a call"'s from the crowd. Raymer wins the hand, and now has approximately $500,000 in chips. Slowik had Raymer covered so he retains a very short stack. Wow, I just read these 2 hands. I don't think I could make that call. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anonymous Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 he's pretty good and he cudda won that WSOP tourney of champoins freeroll if he didn't explOde and call two all in's with 9-8 off hoping to get lucky. Link to post Share on other sites
bdams19 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I'm cheering for him too. I've defended him uncountable numbers of times when idiots start talking about how he got lucky and how he sucks, beside being a great player, Greg is a great guy and deserves it. Link to post Share on other sites
bdams19 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I'm not sure but I think they chopped once DN was out(??), so this might explain his actions. Link to post Share on other sites
BIGSLICKSTER 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Yeah he's been an excellent player for a while.If I'm not mistaken he was consistenly killing the 100/200 game at foxwoods before the wsop.Raymers no joke.As far as the Foxwoods comment on 100/200. As far as i know Foxwood's biggest limit game is 20/40 , with the exception of when the WPT is around. Unless there is another room I dont know about. Im there 2 -3 days a week never seen anything higher. Link to post Share on other sites
canicount 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Maybe I'm missing something, but wasn't that call Raymer made with low pair a bad call? I know he ended up winning the hand, but his opponent had better odds of winning the hand.He had 2 over card (6 outs)Double Gut shot draw (8 outs)Thats 14 outs, so use basic math to multiply that by 4 and he has a 56% chance of hitting a card to beat raymer. Those odds are slightly off because it is possible that one of Raymers cards could also hit but Raymer wasnt at all a clear favorite when he made that call. Link to post Share on other sites

Dr_Shakes 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 When I ran the hand through Card Players calculator earlier I believe Greg was about a 60% favorite. Link to post Share on other sites
TS Clark 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've read some people yapping about Raymer and the call he made last night (mentioned above). Not here, but on other forums I read.The fact is that this was a sick call. Just took tons of heart to go with his gut and his read on that. I mean, you don't have to like or agree with the call, of course (I couldn't have made it). But I said this somewhere else and I'll say it here -- if you replaced Raymer's name with Phil Ivey in that CardPlayer hand history, all the little fanboys in the world would be continuing to burnish the Legend of Ivey. But because it was Raymer, the naysayers will just keep sniveling about his "luck."Raymer is a great player (who, of course, gets lucky from time to time, as do ALL great players -- I seem to remember someone winning two WSOP titles with 10-2). But, more importantly, he seems like a genuinely good guy, someone with lots of integrity, and is a great representative of the game. Link to post Share on other sites
