My observations from his interviews and excerpts from his poker boot camp seminars is that Raymer is a pretty bright guy pokerwise, but I've noticed that he tends to gamble early on in tournaments and doesn't mind putting his tourney on the line on a draw or a read even if he has 50+ BB behind him.
If you have a few million in the bank you can afford to play this way. I guess he just doesn't wanna waste his time.
Maybe that's where the stupid comment comes from? His seemingly reckless play?
