Holy Crap! Joe Haschem is a member here?!?!?!

I think that was Moneymaker's vote.

that was a damn fine joke :D

/my hat is off to you sir

Raymer by a landslide. When Phil Ivey says that you are an "excellent tournament player", look out. I have also personally seen him at FW and he crushes the games there as well.

On top of it all, a really nice guy too.

As for Moneymaker...Hee Haw, Hee Haw

[kainARGH]

on a side note I REALLY can't wait to see how raymor does this year. I was slightly bummed out last year when dan got knocked out kinda early , was a shame. This year raymor did so well I think it will be really interesting to see if he can put on an incredible performance for a third year in a row.

I bet he's still as good as, and probably better than anyone on this forum.

I haven't seen him make classic "fish" moves. He played that AA brilliantly against Lederer. He got Farha to lay down top pair. He busted Johnny Chan with top pair + a flush draw in a great call.

Are you telling me with his chips stack YOU wouldn't have put Humberto all-in with that 88 that cracked Humberto Brenes' Aces? Are you telling me YOU wouldn't have called Phil Ivey's all-in with 3 Queens?

Sure Moneymaker got lucky. So did Raymer and Hachem. But I haven't seen anyone here win the Main Event or make a WPT final table, so why don't we all just lay off the Moneymaker bashing?

so why don't we all just lay off the Moneymaker bashing?

NEVER!


But seriously, moneymaker is only "bad" compared to the top top pros - other then that he can fair his own.
