Negreanu lumps Raymer w/ Moneymaker & Gold
So today's Las Vegas Sun has a poker article on Joe Hachem winning the Doyle Brunson - what I thought was most interesting however, was Daniel throwing Raymer under the 'novice' bus...
"Actually the (recent) World Series of Poker winners in general, you look at them and you're like OK, Moneymaker, Raymer, Gold, you think OK these guys can't play, and the general consensus is that these guys got lucky," Negreanu said. "But you know, with Joe, he actually plays like a pro. The other three don't. The other three are kind of like flash-in-the-pan types..." This seems like he's taking a direct shot at Greg to me. Thought it may be good fodder for NVG. |

Re: Negreanu lumps Raymer w/ Moneymaker & Gold
Agree @ Moneymaker & Gold. Disagree with Raymer, he's a smart guy and a capable player, he's had a long standing history of success in trnys from his days as an attorney and has made monies since his WSOP win. Even finished 2nd in the Stars Sunday Million.

Obviously Raymer shouldn't be lumped in with the other two...hence the point of posting it. Why would Daniel say that?

Sounds like a continuation of the argument which came about around the time of the WSOP over the WPT lawsuit Greg was inolved in.

Oh I know,
Jealousy? Tilt from his huge golf losses? Tired of Negreanus holier than thou attitude, he doesn't pull it off as well as say a Phil Hellmuth who (by all accounts) seems to be a class guy outside poker. Danny seems to be awfully judgmental and hardheaded. |

Maybe DN liked Raymer until Raymer got way out of line with over the top insults all over pokerstars? I dunno

[/ QUOTE ] Nice showings, yes, but no finish better than 5th since the WSOPME win, and I'm guessing he plays a significant amount of tourneys. I think to lump him in with Moneymaker and Gold is dumb, ( although CM DOES have a higher post-ME finish and prize than Raymer..), Raymers post-ME win performance pales in comparison to Hachem, and really, for someone who plays as many as he does, isn't really all that special a track record at all, I hate to say. |
