Default Re: Negreanu lumps Raymer w/ Moneymaker & Gold

Here we go again with that Raymer/Negreneau stuff.
Geez.

Raymer actually had a pretty decent shot to win make the 2006 final-table as well. Ton of chips and ended up finishing 30th IIRC.

Even if Negreneau doesn't think Raymer is THAT spectacular it seems really inappropriate to lump him into 'amateur' status like that. It's not like he's Tiffany Williamson or something.


Then again, Raymer himself has said he thinks Moneymaker is a pretty good player.

And I think Gold's actual playing is probably a little better than what many people think. His extremely unlikeable personality is tainting people's opinion of his ability at the table.
