scottyno 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 be prepared for a whole new series of pokerstars commericals, at least they cant say he won his entry on pokerstars.com anymoreaccording to the lobby his screen name there is "The Black" and he has played thousands of hands on pokerstars.according to pokerdb he only has 1 career tourney cash, so I guess he must play a lot of ring games or not be very good. anyone ever played with him on there or have any idea what limits he played before the wsop?

MyPlayIsRAB 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 i was reading that he played at the melbourne casino regularly (where the aussie millions is held) and cashed in a lot of smaller ($1k, 500$ etc) tourneys there with a few final tables and other deep finishes. Hes made a living off poker for about 10 years i believe since he got a disease that didnt allow him to be a chiropractor anymore.-patrickedit: " He said, "I started in casinos, but in the past two years, I've been playing online a lot." When he isn't playing online or at the Crown Casino, he runs a small broking business in Pascoe Vale." Link to post Share on other sites

Petoria 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 He's not great, but he's your standard TAG. He played solidly at the final table, and got lucky here and there. Which is something that obviously needs to happen in a tourney like that. I'm not going to judge how good he is yet. Do you remember when everyone said that Raymer sucked?

MyPlayIsRAB 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 i do remember when they said raymer sucked; but he actually had a lot of previous poker experience in live games. hes proven himself since, obviously as well. moneymaker/varkonyi were both flukes. they sucked in and out the entire tourney to win. i believe that raymer had fnished 3rd in a big foxwoods event in 2001, and cashed in previous WSOP's as well.i know too much.. maybe i should study this finance university shit im doing?

Raymer is a FAR better player than both of those donks. Link to post Share on other sites

He hasn't made a wpt final table. His 2005 WSOP results are meaningless as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Ktiger48 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I was at hachem's table for a little bit on day 2. he didnt really do anything spectacular or stupid while i was at the table. there was one time when he overplayed a small pair a little bit, but he got paid off when he rivered a set.
