I don't think anyone here is hating on him. As a person, he seems like a pretty good guy, and if you've read any of his posts around here you know he knows what he's talking about.

Fossilman finished 3rd at the main event of the 2001 World Poker Finals at Foxwoods. This event is now a WPT event, but of course the WPT did not exist in 2001.

To the best of my knowledge this is Greg's 2nd best finish in a major tournament.

Here's the Hendon Mob results for greg.

05-Jan-05 Bahamas $ 7,800 WPT Main Event - No Limit Hold'em
2005 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Paradise Island 32nd $ 13,000

01-Sep-04 United States No Limit Hold'em - Tournament of Champions
World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, Las Vegas 5th

06-Aug-04 Ireland € 5,710 Episode 1
The Gaming Club World Poker Championship (Pot Limit Hold'em), Dublin 4th

22-May-04 United States $ 10,000 World Championship Event
35th World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2004, Las Vegas 1st $ 5,000,000

22-Apr-01 United States $ 1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo Split Eight or Better
32nd World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2001, Las Vegas 12th $ 5,345

Clearly this list is incomplete, since it doesn't include any of the tournaments at Foxwoods he played in. Here's a partial list I found on Poker pages.

18-Sept-03 - FARGO Multiple Event Tournament. 1st ($1,248)

27-Oct-02 WPT Finals Season 1 NL - Foxwoods. 3rd ($12,654)

9-Nov-02 WPT Season 1 $2k NL. 9th ($3,700)
- Carlos Mortenson won.

21-Mar-01 NE Poker Classic 7 Card Stud. 1st ($25,560)
- Paul Dardon was 9th

20-Nov-00 Foxwoods World Poker Finals NL Holdem 3rd ($48,960)
- Carlos Mortenson was 9th

1-Dec-00 U.S. Poker Championships - Limit Hold'em. 13th ($1,130)

And remember, he's only done this part-time until now. And he's probably improved a bit since 2000. So if for any reason you find yourself disappointed in his prior record, I'd suggest waiting to see how he does as a full-timer before you compare his results to other pros.

This did not happen. It was not the main even at the poker finals, it was a 360 dollar event (I believe that was the buyin), either 360 or 540, can't remember.

I know this because my brother and father came in 10th and 12th respectively in the same tourney.

Peace

I think he meant the 2000 WPF main event (http://www.pokerpages.com/tournament/result1047.htm) at Foxwoods.

[Tom Bayes]

Oops. It was 2000, not 2001. The buy-in was $5100.

But between this event and some of the other good finishes a previous poster found at the Hendon Mob site, Greg has had a pretty good record for a part-timer who basically only played in New England or the World Series until last year. I won't be surprised to see more TV tables and good finishes for Mr. Raymer, especially since he'll be playing more big events.

Or am I wrong and this is NOT a troll asking a troll-like question?
