Because we had no desire to live in LV, nor to raise our daughter there. Just our personal opinion.

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

I remember reading the article about you moving to Raleigh while I was visiting my parents. Good pick for your wife since the biotech industry is indeed great there. Its a great place to grow up too. I enjoyed it

What? I see no love for '02 champ Robert Varkonyi. WTF I mean he became champion, one year before poker became vouge. That means he had to go through a field that had mad SKILLZ.

Thats just the last year, not to mention he won Monte carlo millions and the fact that he final table bubbled in 10th out of 800 in the '03 ME on a huge suckout by moneymaker.

In '02 WSOP ME he got 23rd out of 631 not to mention three bracelets.

So he went from '02 23/631, '03 10/839, '04 no cash/2400, '05 20/5600 in the WSOP ME...

and youre saying he doesnt do as good in the large fields?

buddy, you have no idea what youre talking about.

not to mention that raymer's good results in four tournaments basically mean only that he's not bad, but certainly don't definitively set him as the greatest large-field tournament player of all time.

if someone came on the MTT forum and said "guys, i cashed in my last four partypoker tournaments and won one. am i the best partypoker tourney player of all TIME?!", he would get laughed at.

we call it variance. if raymer failed to cash in his next 20 WSOP tourneys (certainly a very real possibility), would that make him a worse player?

Phil Ivey by a mile.

Daniel Negreanu is thinking too much nowadays... he's getting bored, and trying to be too imaginative in the early rounds.
