Re: Donkey Play KOs Raymer.......
He probably thought his two overcards were outs. But the reality was he needed a runner-runner to win after the flop. At the very best he had 6 outs (7:1 longshot to hit the turn) on the flop and 15 outs on the turn (3:1 longshot). His flop call was TERRIBLE because his outs could have EASILY been counterfeited... A better play would have been to fold or raise the flop.
On the turn he THOUGHT he had 15 outs out of 44 cards. His semi-bluff raise on the turn was an act of desperation. Raymer played the hand perfectly while Kantor misplayed the Pre-FLOP, FLOP, and TURN. On the otherside of the coin, Raymer played every street perfectly.
Kantor MAY be a great poker player capable of playing great poker .....BUT.... on that hand he played like an UBER-DONKEY. Kantor is not worthy of smelling Raymer's jockstrap...
