TimC Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 From CardPlayer and the $50k HORSE Championship:  Greg Raymer Eliminated by Mike Matusow  It's funny how things work out at the WSOP. Greg Raymer drew a seat right next to his nemesis Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, and just as peeple were thinking to themselves how well the two former rivals were getting along, Matusow somehow went and messed it all up. We're not sure exactly what happened and/or what was said, but Raymer was eliminated by Matusow and left the tournament with a bang. Raymer got up from his seat, ripped the 8 in half and stormed out of the room.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Link? I know Greg a LONG time and he's not one to rip cards. I'd be very surprised if this were true. Â Read this too. It was from the CardPlayer updates. Apparently he had taken quite a few bad beats heading into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Link? I know Greg a LONG time and he's not one to rip cards. I'd be very surprised if this were true. Â Raymer responded to it in post #60 Â 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. Â If you were offended by what I did, my apologies. But it's really not that big of a deal. Â Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Very unlike him, but we all get frustrated at some point.

SheikYerbuti Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Very unlike him, but we all get frustrated at some point. Â Greg is one of the most even tempered players I know, and one of the most professional. Very uncharacteristic. Â Oh, and I don't care if you've had aces cracked 1000 times in a row, ripping the cards is never acceptable. Can't take the swings? Don't play. Â ETA - And I love how he pulled the "IF you're offended by what I did, THEN I apologize" gag. That's the definition of lame.

muck Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I thought that I would have made up some ground with Alex Jacob's 11th place finish in whatever it was that he finished 11th place in. Â PS - Phil Ivey is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 So, quick question: Â What is the strategy on picking players for this thing? It obviously isn't as random as one may initially think (says the last place guy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 So, quick question:Â What is the strategy on picking players for this thing? It obviously isn't as random as one may initially think (says the last place guy). Â Pick good players that will play in a lot of events. That is why I avoided Doyle Brunson (well, everyone did), put Ivey lower on my list (though had I known he would be making about 2 million dollars in bracelet bets, I'd have pushed him higher) put guys like Negreanu high (plays a lot of events) and then I mixed in a few of the younger "Internet" players that I know have skills and will play in a lot of events (Justin Bonomo). I would have added Tom Dwan and maybe Phil Galfond had I known they were going to play so many events, but I figured they would be focusing on the cash games.

Timmypg Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I put zero thought into it & searched Cardplayer.com for the top 20 tourney players. I'm in second to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously isn't as random as one may initially think (says the last place guy). Â I picked (who I believed were) good players who play in alot of tournaments and avoided the name guys who play sparingly. After that, I filled in from last year's top money list and played around with the rankings from there. Â Edit: I can't spell.

SheikYerbuti Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I based my entire roster on Bill Edler having his coming out party this year. . .so far no dice.

muck Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 If Hellmuth wins event #51, BC will come a bit closer back to the pack as he has him at #9 and the others in the top four (me, tford and darin3) all have him at #9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
