Smasharoo 0 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I like Greg a lot, but, there's a LONG way to go yet.Two tangles with other large stacks could cripple him in no time. Link to post Share on other sites

greatwhite 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 He has guys like Juanda, Ivey, and Matusow right behind him. I think he may have a tougher time this year. However if he does win, he should be put in the Hall Of Fame this year, because it will be the greatest accomplishment in poker history. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Is that good big stack poker or just plain lucky?Title: Raymer Cannot Be Stopped Log: Gen Wattanabe goes all-in for his last . Greg mentions that he knows he's behind, but decides to call. Wattanabe shows J-J with one spade. Raymer turns over 8-6 - no spades. The flop comes 7s-3s-2s. Raymer has no pair, and no solid draw, while Wattanabe still has an overpair and a flush draw. The turn is a non-spade 5, giving Raymer an open ended straight draw, but he's still behind. The river brings a non-spade 9. Raymer hits his runner-runner straight, busts Wattanabe, and is now sitting atop a stack of $1,600,000 Link to post Share on other sites

greatwhite 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 He may be getting lucky, but you have to be a good player to beat 2,000 players one year and go into day 4 with the chip lead the next. That's skill. Link to post Share on other sites
kfernandez 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Freddy Bonyadi, that bald headed monster of a Kojack, is probably the new chip leader after bluffing Raymer out of a big pot with 555AJ on the board. Freddy had K high. Link to post Share on other sites
