Now that we have touched base on a few other superstar poker players, let’s give a chat to Greg Raymer! This guy is from my home state of Michigan and while he might have been a former lawyer, he is actually an incredible poker player now! He is on the Team Pokerstars with a few other players and he is honestly incredible at his craft!

If you think that the crazy glasses that he wears are nuts, then you should definitely take a look at his aggressive style, because to be honest, he is one of the most aggressive players at the table usually. His nickname is the Fossilman and the reason for that is because he very, very rarely pulls out and folds.

So if you are sitting in the middle of a game with Greg Raymer, you should be prepared to sit in for the long hull because he is definitely not going to pull out at all!

It has to be said that Thang Luu is definitely hot this year – while this guy has been hot since he first started in poker, nowadays, this guy has been winning everything! This year alone he actually beat a record field of 918 entries. In 2008 alone he beat out over 833 players and took home the bracelet and then this year, the number upped and he still took home the bracelet!

Thang Luu is one of those guys that you absolutely have to watch out for whenever you are on a table with him. The reason for it is because he honestly, does not look like a guy that can wipe the floor with you right? But he does and he will every single time! He is a guy that loves to play Omaha 8 and he has had one of the most impressive ones.

So if you are looking for someone to beat, Thang Luu is going to be that person but I wish you good luck – seriously!
