matusow called because he didnt put raymer on a flushdraw; he put him on AJ, AQ, or AK, which didnt hit the flop. i dont think it qualifies as a matusow blowup, because he had the best hand, and his read was correct except the fact that raymer was on a flushdraw. if you knew that your opponent just had overcards there, theres no reason not to call. it was a very tough, and very good call. matusow did let his ego make that call, because he wanted to bust raymer so badly, but i still believe that he made a great call.
as for raymer, i dont dislike him because he won a bunch of coinflips, i dislike his glasses, and how he handled his confrontation with matusow. matusow was being a bully, and raymer should have stood up for himself.... i think thats why i dont like him.
