Re: Official Day 7 Friday WSOP FINAL TABLE thread
Hello all,
I am a fairly new 2+2er, very knew to this section of the forum. I have scanned through a few posts re the WSOP and Greg Raymer who I assume is part of the 2+2 community. I have also gathered that he's from the Northeast and is a regular at Foxwoods. Did he qualify through an online site? What is his 2+2 name? If someone could direct me to a previous thread or give me some answers to my dumb questions I'd be most appreciative. Thanks! -secada

Re: Official Day 7 Friday WSOP FINAL TABLE thread
sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but did anyone other than the 4 PokerStars players qualify online? (yes, I know, Greg isn't "just" a pokerstars player and he would have bought in anyway - don't flame me)

Re: Official Day 7 Friday WSOP FINAL TABLE thread
Cardplayer referred to Greg as a professional poker player. I guess they're going to represent him as a mainstream pro...it's good to see that they're recognizing the fact that he has cashed in big tournaments before and is an excellent player.

Re: Official Day 7 Friday WSOP FINAL TABLE thread
Greg has a great deal of talent that he has clearly exhibited in various tournaments and ring games. But most importantly he has been willing to share his knowledge with us, and when he has done so virtually no one has contradicted advice he has given (which says a lot on these forums). The manner in which he provides advice is exceptional as well. I can't recall him ever berating other posters. Nor do his postings feel as if he is taking a superior or condensending tone (I wish I could keep these elements out of my own postings). This is on top of being able to clearly explain very subtle points of strategy in just a few sentences.
I remember when I first started playing no-limit. I was in a tourney and had raised 3xBB from the CO with AQs and had the button move all-in (this was early in the tourney). My feeling had been that I couldn't let people push me around, and that my starting cards were pretty good, so I called. The button showed AA (I lost of course). I posted this hand in the NL forum and Greg explained nicely why I made a bad call. He was probably the only poster that didn't call me an idiot.

Re: Official Day 7 Friday WSOP FINAL TABLE thread
No, Williams, McClain, Dean, and our hero are all PS qualifiers.

"Mclain is perhaps best known for having his face shown literally hundred of times nationally on television as the "AGONY OF DEFEAT" shot, during ESPN's repeated World Series of Poker boradcasts last year" [/ QUOTE ] I almost went nuts when I read this. I saw "AGONY OF DEFEAT" and thought you were referring to the skier who crashed every week on ABC's Wild World of Sports. If that guy were at the final table, I think I'd root for him over Greg.
