Did Matusow realize that he was behind?

I know it's a coinflip, but it seems like he thought that he was a decent favorite there.

He wasnt behind but he he was an underdog.

PS "Thanks for busting me Mike" priceless.

He knew he was behind ("Please God let me get lucky once..." or something like that)

The guy down at the other end of the table mentioned "Well he didn't exactly have nothing, he was on a draw". Actually, it was Matusow who was on the draw since Raymer was a favorite.

My impression was that Matusow read Raymer for overcards and called on that basis. When he saw the flush draw, I'm sure if he stopped to think he would know he was a slight underdog.

Matusow is a douche, and Raymer is a class act. I was really impressed with the way he acted throughout every time he's been on TV.

Well put symph.

As much as I enjoyed the fact that Raymer won, it was Raymer who was drawing, albeit as a favorite.

I think you're looking at the situation wrong. Raymer isn't drawing with his overcards and flush draw. He's winning. It doesn't matter that Matusow has a pair of 9's. Raymer is still winning and his opponent is drawing. It's just that he's drawing to cards that won't improve Raymer's hand.

When you've got more than 50% pot equity, you're winning. The guy with less than 50% is drawing.

I don't have the TV on...

what exactly was the hand?
