POKER INFO - PROILE - Greg Raymer

I had never met Greg until this year. I played with him for 11 hours in event #22 and I must say he is one of the nicest people I have met during my 19 years of tournament play. He has a simple strategy, if he thinks he can get you in a coin flip situation then he doesn't mind risking all his chips. This year is a testiment about his ability to play tournament NLH. He is no Moneymaker, he is for real. One of the best?.. nah, just willing to put the "best" all in.

25TH 2005, Luck my ass. Greg ur the bomb. Hope to ever be on the same table as u. LOOK 4 THE NAME PAINTER....!!!!!!!!!!!!

if mike matusow wins he will have the last laugh at raymer

25th now no one can say hes lucky. btw matosow came in 4th at the final table and was the first to leave. good, he pissies me off.

Gregory rung me last night. Was happy with his showing, said it was funner this year, than winning it last year. We are going to grab a bite to eat at McDonalds when he comes over next. He has an endorsement deal with them pending. Cheerio Greg!

ok englishcat after he won and became big now you know him all of a sudden

englishcat the guy wont go to england to eat McDonalds w/ u. hes from connecticut and he has a family there

Am i the only one here who just wants to HURT englishcat sooo bad. Pathological liar in every f'ing way. I am getting very sick and tired of all his BS personal stories with every poker pro.

"Oh he rang me up last night and i wished him well".. "We played heads up, i slowpayed KK and the flop came K K 6 and he went all-in and i busted him"

Honestly i wanna punch this lying scum unconscious.

"Funner" is not a word you dumb limey bastard...

i checked his site and couldnt find them. but he said they r on there.

Hi my name is pocket 7s and i like to touch my mom. I can play poker really well and i play poker with barbie, scuba steve, and gumby. i wen all in with pocket aces against 3-9 and lost. damn that scubasteve!

All the fat fucks excel in poker, with the exception of Chris Moneymaker who just got lucky one year and since has done deadly squat except bust out with 7-2s.

you guys can go fuck your self greg ramyer finish in the top ten this year so shut the fuck up

greg raymer finished in the top 20 but its still good.

i swar to god u fucking people are unbelivable u guys always complain about shit "he just got lucky" i hate that shit get it thru your fucking mind poker is fucking luck you could have all the skill u want but with out a little bit of luck u cant win so stop saying he got lucky cuz u dont know what tha fuck your talking about

if doyle brunson or phill hellmuth or ivey or any named pro won the WSOP with the same exact cards and the same exact way as ( i would ) they would be very skilled players who made correct reads but if u replace phil ivey with first last then he's is a lucky POS who didn't deserve to win everyone STFU if i won the WSOP for what ever reason it doesn't matter it's 5 mil plus and a bracelet next i'm gonna hear doyle isn't as skilled cause some of his braclets came with only 100 people in the tourney and not 1000 come on and by the way since raymer sux so much he went 1st in 04 and like 35th or something in 05 that is out lasting more people in 2 major tourneys that most people have done in their ENTIRE lives no break needs to be cut to him make fun of him or anyone else all you want but it will only matter when you have a bracelet and a few million dollars so until then keep paying your 10k until you have the braclet to start talking crap

all fat people are good at poker

I thought I saw on the WSOP website that Greg Raymer placed 25th, not 35th, on the main even money finishers' list. Was I mistaken? In either case, I believe there were over 6,000 players for the main event this year, and the fact that Greg made it as far as he did seems to me like he knows what he's doing. Oh, and what does the comment "all fat people are good poker players" have to do with anything? That's like saying every single Middle Eastern is a Muslim, just because of where they're from or what they look like.

You left your glasses at the International House of Pancakes again.

Marina - it was misworded. I think he meant that the best poker players are fat. To reword your analogy, its like saying most (all) terrorists are muslim which is fair to say.

He finished 25th this year. Far better than any of you armchair quarterbacks did, or could do, I'm sure

this guy is F_____A____T. <-takes up space. He will die in 2 days from a heart attack. Lose Weight Fat Ass....

Guys, Hate To Tell You, Greg Raymer Is A Very Very Good Poker Player. Makes Great Reads, Plays Exceptionaly Well, Doesnt Tilt. You Will See Alot Of This Guy, He Isnt Another Moneymaker Who Got Lucky, He Is Really Really Good, One Of The Best For Sure.

Gimme a bag to put over his head, and I'd hit it. Twice.

Aaron Kanter's suck out ended a great runfrom Phil Helmuth)<p>Then, with 20 players remaining, a huge hand came up between Raymer and Aaron Kanter. With the blinds at $20,000-$40,000 and an ante of $5,000 a player, Raymer opened for $100,000 to go, with Kh-Ks. Kanter called the $100,000 with Qh-Jh, and the flop came down 6d-5s-3h. Raymer bet out $150,000, and, for some reason, Kanter called the bet. At this point not much good could happen for Kanter: he was sitting only 7 percent to win the pot, and a queen or a jack on the turn could encourage him to put all of his money into the pot with only five "outs," as an 8-to-1 underdog (39 losing cards against five winning cards).When the 7h came off on the turn, Raymer bet out $300,000, and Kanter made his move, raising it up $500,000 more ($800,000 total). Kanter was representing a straight, but Raymer wasn't going for it, sensing that Kanter forgot to pay attention to him. Suddenly, Raymer moved all-in, and now Kanter was forced to call the all-in bet of about $950,000 more. Kanter barely looked up at Raymer.Here's a tip: If you're going to make a bluff, you should give yourself a chance to read your opponent. If Kanter had figured out that Raymer was strong, he could have simply called the bet with his flush draw, or even better, folded his hand on the flop.In any case, Kanter was now a 41/2-to-1 underdog — he had eight "outs," to 36 winning cards for Raymer. For roughly $4 million, Kanter hit his flush when the 2h came on the river and went on to finish fourth. That was the end of Raymer (he did have a few chips left), but what a run he had. Last year, he beat 2,500 players, then almost 5,600 more this year. Wow!

an agressive player who aint affraid to put his money in on a coin flip and has made 2 impressive runs i nthe main event
