The original thread referred to the poker playing ability of Raymer did it not?? It didnt ask whether Raymer was overatted as a : swell guy, poster on 2+2,fossil collector, poker theorist,....etc etc etc. The point is, in order for us to ascertain where he is skill wise arent results gonna have too play a major role ??

He has very good results....more on that in a second. His poker acumen is something you won't ever come close to having. He has clear, logical advice that many have benefitted from. If something is logical and well-spoken - if something works - why does it matter who is giving it or what their results are? You and Desidia are simply arguing to argue here.

Now, while he doesn't have the results of Desidia's hero John Juanda, he has done very well in several major tournaments, and quite a few local tournaments at Foxwoods. His results are something that 90% of the posters on this board won't ever duplicate, yet you still think his career to date is some sort of ruse. What do you struggle with here? Why do you keep arguing?

This has all been been pointed out several times - in this very thread, so why don't YOU pay attention - but I can't resist making you look foolish. It's too easy and too much fun.

You are still spelling over-rated wrong. I love it.

so what's your point? there are MANY other players (non-world class) who have done well in a FEW major tournaments, so what. local-wise (Foxwoods), i could care less. he's not playing against the likes of Ferguson, D Pham, Juanda, Ivey, Greenstein, or Negreanu in those local tourneys. i'd be willing to bet that he has the extreme majority of those tourney fields outclassed in both poker knowledge and skill. WOW! you should'nt even have to bring up the fact of 90% of 2+2's posters never achieving his results as evidence that his over-hyped results mean something. if you wanna be a poker coach, be one. but if folks are hyping you up on the felt like one championship means you're a dynasty, i expect all that poker knowledge to translate into more titles.
