Default Re: Anyone have Exact Chip Counts of the Raymer vs. Kanter hand?

Any criticism of Raymer's play is results-oriented thinking. If a spade fell on the river and Raymer took a monster chip lead, no one would be attacking his play right now. The push on the turn to Kanter's raise was a power move based on a good read -- there wasn't any reason to put Kanter on a 4 or a set here. The board is dangerous in a low-limit game, but NOT at this stage of the tournament. It looks like Kanter put him on a couple of high cards and made a semi-bluff, but he decided he was going to gamble in the heat of the moment. Judging from how much Raymer lost on that hand, I don't think Kanter was pot committed (although someone could look up the numbers to find out).

What annoys me about Kanter's play here is that it looks like, from the footage we saw, that he called almost immediately, when he HAD to know he was way behind in the hand and putting his entire tournament life on the line with one card to come. He didn't think it through at all, and then couldn't even control his sh*t-eating grin when he sucked out. To call off all of your chips like that was absurdly reckless, and just a terrible play overall.
