Greg Raymer (Fossilman) Arrested in Prostitution Sting

[NateVest]

Wow a guy that just won the Heartland Poker Tour Main Event and has to pay for female companionship? Definitely surprised bond was set at $1,000 but every one makes mistakes I guess, you live and you learn. Must be a lonely guy or has a sex addiction to have to get some action online.

Oh, great. Just what the poker world needs. More negative attention.

This is the kind of ish that gives poker a bad name. There are a lot more negative things in the poker world atm, it def didn't need this.

I'm not shocked about the news btw. He always seemed very strange

 

[Daniel72]

He did nothin wrong, lets throw these "trapping" cops into jail instead !

Free Fossil !

 

[needaGF]

I wonder if he is the first poker winner to pay for sex?

Well given his appearance and age, it is possible...

 

[paulyd]

Isn't this guy married? Why would he do such a thing?

I attended the Mustang Ranch in 1963 when I was stationed at Fallon, Nevada, a Naval Air Station...Was 17 years old. Couldn't drink or gamble in casinos but no one asked for my ID at the "Cat House".

I'm tired of the government telling me what is moral (poker etc.) and not. Hell, the Mayor of New York City made the decision to not to allow extra large soft drinks to be sold. Give me a break.

 

[JUDGE1018]

He is supposed to be at r casino next friday,HOGWILD poker guest ,maybe ill bring it up,lol

 

[Daniel72]

No online poker and no woman ? LOL good old germany has more freedom...

 

[Acesinthebig]

lol

 

[imboosted]

lololol....but really? who is surprised?

 

[Poker Orifice]

Oh my... this is really shocking!!!

Greg Raymer is the first player that I watched on TV. How could he do this!!!

maybe he needa GF ?

 

[ScottishMatt]

Yeah the dude just wanted to bust himself some nuts. Honestly, the only reason this could have a negative impact on the poker world is inside the minds of biased sheep. Keep a clear mind, produce your own world view and your own opinions based on rational thought. Then look at prostitution and see if there is anything wrong with it. The people who will look at poker after this event in a worse light are biased fools who's opinions are lacking in so much substance that they are not worth even paying attention to.

 

[Poker Orifice]

to be fair he is one ugly man, not much chance of getting a legit girlfriend

I'm guessing you don't have any money.

law enforcement actually spends our tax dollars setting up sting operations to go after people because they want to pay for sex. ya they've really punished some serious menaces to society here (sarcastic). when are we goin to pull our collective head out of our asses in the US and vote for better laws and politicians.

100% agree. Totally ridiculous.

Wow, he sure does look like someone who would do it though!

How do 'they' look?

Meh. Some dude had sex with a woman. That is really all this amounts to.

Nothing wrong with sex. Nothing wrong with paying for a service someone is willing to offer. Nothing wrong with prositution.

As for Greg, he seems like a cool dude through the interviews I've seen. This changes nothing.

Totally agree with this ^

You actually think this is going to have some sort of impact on the poker world???
So you figured Greg seemed very strange? Where & how'd you get that impression of him? (from a few minutes on your television screen?).
Only really strange people grab a hooker?

 

[FF00h]

So funny, I didn't know that such things (looking for prostitutes) is illegal?! LMAO

Can someone explain me why using prostitutes services is illegal?!
I live in Europe and in most countries here its perfectly legal to pay for sex. Sure it might be unethical and sinful - but im shocked that in USA (the "land of freedom") such things are illegal. You have right to have automatic weapons, start wars, smoke weed - but suddenly you are villain if you pay money for prostitute? So insane and out of touch.

 

[fletchdad]

Play guitar and be as ugly as you want and still get laid regularly for free.

Because religious jerks think the whole country should live by their ridiculous beliefs.

It is illegal in plenty of countries in Europe as well.

Yea - I am pretty sure there is a reporter in Wake Forest who might have a pink slip to take home today. Or at least an unexpected "vacation".

A reporter's job is tough enough already, expecting them to be accurate is asking way to much.

It's either this^ or bc it's not taxable. Pretty much anything lucrative that the govt can't get its hands on is illegal.

Oh yeah definitely. They would gladly drop their religious beliefs or part of them, if it allowed them to have more power. Most of the politicians just claim religion so they will get higher votes, I would be astonished if more than 5% of them were truly devout and actually cared about issues like this beyond the point of power accumulation.

 

[caintain]

Omg that is so funny. Who would've figure.

who would??? aaaah anyone look at the dude i mean good player but com on mang!

 

[NateVest]

Isn't this guy married? Why would he do such a thing?

He is married with children and that is the saddest thing about this story. I feel terrible for his family right now with all of the press's attention on him.

You actually think this is going to have some sort of impact on the poker world???

Yes, to an extent.

So you figured Greg seemed very strange?

Yes.

Where & how'd you get that impression of him? (from a few minutes on your television screen?).

Yes.

Only really strange people grab a hooker?

Yes. Strange people need to & have to get hookers in order to get some.

You are being sarcastic. Right?

 

[fletchdad]

hookers are boring without blow

 

[dresturn2]

wow...now that's unexpected
