Fossilman continues to get respect

[TimsterToo]

Somehow I get the feeling that there is a whole history leading up to this post...but

didn't Greg Raymer get pretty far too this year?

I'm really not a good enough (MTT) player to give a constructive opinion wether he has real playing ability or not but it seems he's not doing too shabby.

Either way it's fine with me, just wondered how you got all fanatic about this [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Fossilman typically played the Foxwoods games from about 30/60 to 300/600--before he won. It would be a lot more accurate to describe him as a semi-pro than an amateur.

Don't forget that he made it to the final 2 tables in the ME in (I think) '98.

Raising the buy-in is only gonna knock out the poor "professionals", the rich guys will still be there.

I suppose Moneymaker and Raymer will never really get much credit for being anything but really lucky guys, no matter what they do. I guess having million$ of dollars help them cope. I wonder if Raymer cashed more in the WSOP than Steve Rosenbloom made all of 2005?

I say we each write a letter to a rich famous person. I think I will write one to Andy Beal. Slivre, you can have Bill Gates. Easy, I don't know why, but I think you would be the best one to write to Diddy.

300-600? Really? From what I've heard about his prior bamkroll situation, I find this HIGHLY doubtful pre WSOP win. I think I heard 50-100. 300-600 takes a 200k roll to play near right, he didn't have it, and was smart enough to not play that deep over his head.

I thought Greg said he played the $150/300 mixed game on occasion, and at least $75/150 somewhat regularly. But I could be wrong.
