Raymer is nicknamed "Fossilman" due to his hobby of collecting fossils. He uses a small fossil as a card protector while he plays poker. Aside from the World Series, Raymer plays few tournaments, choosing to spend time with his wife Cheryl and daughter Sophie instead of immersing himself in the poker circuit and the constant travel it requires.

Raymer is also well-known for wearing a pair of holographic glasses that appear to be shiny dinosaur eyes during hands.

At the 2004 World Series, Raymer defeated David Williams to win the $5,000,000 first prize in the $10,000 no limit hold'em WSOP main event. Raymer received the entry fee to the tournament by winning a $160 satellite event on PokerStars, just like the 2003 winner, Chris Moneymaker. Raymer is now a representative of PokerStars, alongside Moneymaker and the 2005 World Series of Poker champion Joseph Hachem.

Raymer's official site indicates that he will be appearing in the third season of Poker Superstars, to be broadcast from March 12, 2006.
