POKER INFO - PROILE - Chris Moneymaker

Even the blind squirrel finds a nut every now & then.

got so lucky beating catching a card on the river i wud have won. extremally lucky wont win another bracelet ever!!!

chris is the best all around player ever in the history of poker.his talent can easily be seen ouzing out of his triple chin.i love how people claiming to be a pro go on hear and talk sh it like they can play big money poker without making mistakes. internet should outlawed for people who have iq lower then forrest gump

Stick to the internet...BOY

it's funny how everyone on here has something to say. i would like to see some of you play...probably jokes.

I think the correct thing to sum all of this up is that Moneymaker sucks... compared to Ivey and Harrington and all the other greats... he probably wouldn't suck compared to all of you... Congrats on the millions made but he will never be as good as Ivey or Harrington

Don't worry Chris will be around a long time

Hey All Just Left Vegas Friday Chris Was Playing 25.00 Dollar Buy In Touraments At The Imperial Palace With Only 600 Too 1st Place He Lost Like A 100 Pounds No Wedding Ring Wearing Flip Flops I Think He Is Down And Out Broke Why Else Would He Be Playing There He Looked Like Nick Nolte When He Got That Dui People Where Takin His Picture And Getting Autographs Anybody Know What Happen To Him Please Reply Thanks.

I can't believe you guys expected moneymaker to win again (or even do well). How many repeat champs have there ever been? Not that many. Yes, he is a flash in the pan, but i'd like to win 2.5 million, luck or not.

Now that I masqueraded as Jay T and insulted him for being an idiot, I'd like to say a few words about Moneymaker. He is a good amateur player, and he did do well in an 800 plus person tourney, with that said I think that luck had, and still has much to do with winners in such tourneys. Back when the WSOP was an 8 man tourney it was much more a skill game, today it's still skill, but SOOO much more luck is involved it's scary. Now I say Money has some skill and is a good player because he also came in second in the WPT tourney with Phil Gordon. That's all thanks.

I think he looked drunk at the 2004 WSOP...That was sad because you think the reigning champ would want to make a good showing....I dont think you'll ever see him at a final table again....He'll be back working as an accountant in five years.....sad but true

hey Whitney he was druink, he said he was, said he got drunk the night before and was up until four am it really was sad. I like the guy, but i think he's made too big a deal of, only because he's the champion of the poker explostion.

Moneymaker barely got anywhere in this years WSOP. Im talking about all the events including the main one. So obviously he isnt some miracle player just an above average player who got lucky. It happens.

i havent heard of him since 2003.. where has he been?

to beat 800 other players in the wsop,plus having to win tournaments on line to qualify,i think we can safely say this guy is the best around

Reality check people -- Moneymaker did have a good tournament in 2003. He did have some great hands to play and did earn his title. HOWEVER, since then he has been little more than a hack. He's pissed away his WSOP money and is losing his appearance fees at various casinos. That's not rumor folks. I give the guy credit for what he accomplished in 2003 but he's done little since. I feel bad for the guy because he bought into his own press. He'll wind up back in the Ozarks crunching numbers.

So He Is Down And Out Thats Why He Was At Imperial Palace Playing 25 Dollar Tourneys...hmmm I Feel Sorry For The Guy..

MM is very lucky ..he is bad at poker and he will be making a $10000 donation every year for the rest of his life!!!

i dont like chis moneymaker at all!! hes just a lucky guy that won a tournament on tv

He look like Eric Gagné. I like him.

decent to good player and yes i admit and so does he that he got lucky to win the main event but hes a super nice guy and i wish him well

OMG Moneymaker is a fat slob who got lucky and won the series. Big deal. - He hasnt done shit since.

He was 2nd place in I believe it was shooting stars WPT event. Winner was Phil Gordon. So he has done something since. Made final table and if Phil did not get an ace on the last hand he would of won that event. Moneymaker had pocket Kings Phil had an ace and something else. MM went all in and Phil called and caught the ace. Maybe he's done even more but this is the one I know about. So please people know what you are talking about before stating he hasn't done s**t since.

Does anyone know what kind of sunglasses Sammy Farha wears to play in? I want to get some for my husband for Christmas. Thank you.

Chris Moneymaker played great... he hardly made any mistakes. The hand with phil Ivey, if im not mistaking he had two pair aces and omehting else, why would he not call the all in of phil Ivey. Plus he beat a lot of people at the final table. DONT HATE ON THIS GUY

"low cards, low cards." when I watch my wsop dvd late at night I always rewind the bit when he says that. Its almost orgasmic.

He had trip Q's with an ace kicker and caught the ace on the river...

He won the blind man's bluff, so he is good don't hate him

enkhbat is right MM is a damn tight cool player.I agree with sammy the bricks above post.

plus he is on TV tommorrow on Travel Channel, looks like he made a final table on WPT season 2
