raymer vs moneymaker

[djack]

There are about 120 searches on Yahoo every day for Chris Moneymaker. There are about 5 for "greg raymer" and "fossilman" combined.

Surprising?

[The Dude]

[/ QUOTE ] C'mon, really? It doesn't surprise you that Moneymaker gets 30 times the hits? Not double, not triple, but 30 times?

Moneymaker got alot of attention, and he had a real attractive story, but ESPN just finished up its coverage of the WSOP.

[djack]

No. I mean my evidence.

Not everybody has seen Raymer's win yet. Raymer also isn't nearly as compelling of a story.

[/ QUOTE ] No arguments. But a year after his win, Moneymaker still gets thirty times the search hits? He's not on TV, Raymer is.

I'm wondering if perhaps my data is a month or two old, though I believe it to be current.

Everyone can remember the name "Moneymaker" and tell their friends. He might as well be named Superman. It's magic and seems like Karma. Nothing like that regarding Raymer.

[AllUcanEatBby]

Moneymaker probably gets more hits becaues he has been out there for a year and also not only because he has a better story, but also he seems more likable to someone watching the world series on T.V.

Actually, Moneymaker was on the Bay 101 poker classic on the WPT about 9 days ago I believe. He made the final table and had a 5k bounty on his head along with a bunch of other stars. So that could attribute to more searches as lots of people watch the WPT.

Greg Raymer is a terrific guy, witty, personable and honorable, and probably the better player and ambassador for poker but you can't beat the last name "Moneymaker". It is not only perfect for a poker player but it is literally unforgettable. It is such a good name that when I was following the series last year I was virtually certain it had to be a fake name.

That said, I have a lot of respect for the manner in which Chris has carried himself the last year. His "everyman" story is one of the reasons poker is booming.

Good point about the name. Mickey Mantle said that he thought one of the reasons that he became such a legend was his alliterative name.

Plus Chris got there first.

[joedot]

Not everyone searching for "moneymaker" is searching for Chris Moneymaker. Ever think that they are looking for ways to make money?

[Piers]

Even I can spell Moneymaker, however I remeber the trouble I had with Greg Raymer, when I thought it would be a good idea to look at all his 2+2 MTT posts.

[StoneRose]

How many for "Chris Moneymaker Nude"?

[youtalkfunny]

Everybody running the search is checking on rumors of his divorce/bankruptcy/arrest/death/other.
