Ramer and Moneymaker
I'm a newbie here so please take it easy...I hope this is the right forum for the question.
Before Ramer and Moneymaker hit the big one does anyone know what games they frequented at pokerstars? Was it all NL, all MTT, SNGs? or if it was LH what level? 4/8? 5/10? much higher? I've just been curious about this for a while. thanks in advance. |

Re: Ramer and Moneymaker
Try and search for some of Raymer's (fossilman) posts. He has some wonderful advice on MTTs, his well thought out post on rebuys is very insightful. I'm not sure if he played a lot of cash games or not.

I believe Greg played as high as 150-300 at Foxwoods and a fairly big blind no-limit game as well.

Re: Ramer and Moneymaker
Thanks I appreciate it. Didn't figure they went from 2/4 to the Main Event, but I'd always been curious.

Re: Ramer and Moneymaker
Greg will probably find his way over so I hope I don't misquote him but iirc he always seemed to prefer mixed games or big bet games to straight limit he. He played pretty big as mentioned, and was already an accomplished tourney player before winning. He helped move many of our games foward with his advice.

Re: Ramer and Moneymaker
Raymer was a well-known big stakes player at Foxwoods, with the reputation (and staking) of a solid winner from everything I heard.
Moneymaker, on the other hand, seems to have been a low limit online player who got pretty lucky and found his inner poker player at the right time. If I had to guess, I'd say Moneymaker will be a loser for life at the table, just off what I read. That's typical for many name tourney players I think. But it's a different world now -- speaking, writing and endorsement opportunities mean he is likely to be a rich man as long as he doesn't gamble it away. |

Re: Ramer and Moneymaker
Moneymaker is a better player than everyone gives him credit for. Pro's who played with him or watched him play live even admit that. I'm sure they know more than the people on this forum. At the time of his win he was a 1/2 player online. More than 2 years later now he's plays 30/60 - 40/80 - 50/100 and from I believe a mod on here says, has the skills to beat that game. Both very good players.

This is from a guy who dropped over $300 in an hour at 8-16 yesterday. |
