I agree with pretty much this entire post. Raymer plays a much different game than I do, and sometimes, like you, I don't "get it," but I don't think the "awful" plays you are seeing are NEARLY as awful as you think. Remember, he's playing an ultra-aggressive style and he's more than willing to take chances to build that stack early in hopes of going DEEP in the tourney (or busting out early). He's not a "try to get into the money" kind of guy. He's playing to win, and once he does get that big stack - look out.
I play a lot more like Hachem. I love Greg's game and I have a LOT of respect for him (I think he's a better player than Hachem), but I'm not comfortable with it... It's just doesn't mesh with my natural style.
