He raises all-in pre-flop from the button. The small blind folds, but the big blind thinks for a while. The big blind finally folds and Raymer shows the K[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG] in his hand. "Let's go to war," Raymer says. "Even if I have a deuce, I want action." Raymer has around $8,000. [/QUOTE]
