What I like about Greg is that he's willing to give honest and forthright answers all the time. (There was a little shameless plugging of his endorsements, but that's business I suppose. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

My favorite part of the chat was, immediately after Greg mentioned that TOP is the best poker book to read by far, he was asked whether he wanted Tiffany Williamson to call with AJ versus his KK. Instead of giving a glib answer, Greg actually explained the basic TOP concept at play.

Thanks for the link- great read. Greg does a fantastic job as an 'amabassador of poker'. Looking forward to the book!

Joe (Toledo): Greg: I am an avid college poker player who uses probably 90% of free time playing poker, either in the occasional live game around camput and primarily on PokerStars. I seem to have a problem, as I frequently make a deposit, build up to up around a 500% increase, and lose it to some fish. Is there something I may be doing wrong? I typically will play $.50-$1 online or $1-2 NL in casinos. I don't think my play changes as my bankroll increases, but maybe I'm wrong. Any tips to keep increasing the bankroll when you get up?

Greg Raymer: (5:42 PM ET ) The biggest problem is that you are a college student spending 90% of your free time on poker. Spend more time on girls.


Fantastic.

Jason (Durham, NC): I have had success in tournamnets and cash games, both live and online. How do I find a backer to play in the main events of tournaments and high stakes cash games?

Greg Raymer: (5:49 PM ET ) Backers either know you very well, or they are fools. Find someone in one of those 2 categories.

Gold!

I have met Raymer in Person, and he spoke with me and my girlfriend for over 20 minutes.

The guy has class for sure, and he's one heck of a gentleman to boot.

The above only brings that fact home, how much of a stand up guy Greg really is.
