At the final table last year the other players repeatedly got all their chips in as favorites against Greg preflop and Greg sucked out. His stack going into the final table was impressive, but his final table play was nothing special.

While I agree that this was how TV depicted several situations, isn't part of playing with a big stack getting your money in when you may be a slight dog pre-flop, but if you hit you're now a huge favorite?

Also, I think "sucked out" is a bit of an extreme adjective for a lot of the situations Greg was in. I see sucking out as putting your money in after the flop or turn when you're getting thinner and thinner, and THEN hitting, not really putting it in pre-flop when your opportunities are the broadest. Especially when you figure in stack size.

I may be way off base, however... And I'm certainly not a "Raymer groupie"...
