I am getting sick of my friends saying "Raymer just got lucky."

It's not that Raymer isn't good, but it's also not that he didn't just get lucky. It's a combination of both, although I like to think that in his case, it was definitely more luck. He'd get all his chips in with hands like KQ and AJ without a second though. It worked for him in the WSOP, due to winning the coin flips. But did you watch the TOC? He didn't win his coin flip with KQ against a lower pocket and with I think 9T against 88. Bam, he was out. The same thing could have happened in the WSOP, but didn't. In the TOC, in my opinion, he was exposed as a truly inexperirnced player.

Did you just start playing poker last week? If you can't figure out when he was in the coin flips he was in, then you don't understand poker.

I'll take a coin flip with KQ when I have 2 Million and my opponent has 150,000 all the time.

Everyone seems to conveiniently forget the coinflip he was in against Matusow when it was Greg who was outchipped and risking his entire tourney on a coinflip midway through it all.
