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

The difference between a big name pro making that move and Kantor doing it is the pro would almost certainly make himself tougher to read. Like Greg said, the kid was transparent (and that is pretty much validated by Greg's near-immediate all-in after Kantor's raise).

Which means he doesn't need just AA-JJ to play back at him. He probably makes the same play with any pocket pair from AA down to 33 (given the board), plus other hands.

While I agree it wasn't the ultra-donk move that some have suggested, it was definitely very bad, given the situation (he wasn't shortstacked), the opponent (if you're going to cite Greg's loose opening requirements as a reason to make the play, you also have to consider his strong reading ability as a reason NOT to make it), and his own transperency (the raise looked too quick, too deliberate).

As has been said, it's the difference bewteen live and online play. But thankfully for him, luck finds its way into both.
