This is a classic hand from the 2004 WSOP between Greg Raymer and Mike Matusow.

Mike never said what his read on him was, but he had to have known it was a coin flip. I really doubt that he thought that Raymer was making a move.

Even with top pair, he was a slight underdog to Raymer's two overs and a flush draw.

Question: How would you play this? It's still pretty early in the tournament, and with so many people left to get knocked out, would you call 2/3rds of your stack with top pair in this situation?

I wouldn't.

Neither would I. Especially not after a pre-flop raise and a flop push.

No, I woulda folded..when I saw that no spades came out...and that makes my 9 the best I could do...and a 10 already showing...I woulda folded.

Now, I may have played Raymer's hand like Raymer did. I like the flop push with the flush draw and two overs. I may have just bet the pot on it, but I don't dislike the push.
