He actually still plays raquetball. Right after he won the World Series last year Rick Reilly from SI (I must admit I can't stand the guy Bill Simmons mops the floor right him anyday and he thinks to much of himself, he should just stick to writting the story instead of being it) made fun of Raymer and poker players in general calling him fat and what not. Well Raymer vhallenged him to a raquetball match via email and here were some of the points he made in that e-mail.

Raymer, who, like all championship poker players, is extremely competitive (despite his genial manner), responded by e-mailing Reilly a challenge to play him in a racquetball match. Reilly turned him down, claiming he had never played racquetball, and suggested they do battle in golf, a sport Reilly plays frequently. (Yes, this is the same Reilly who once famously challenged Sammy Sosa to pee into a cup on the spot after Sosa claimed he was willing to do just that to disprove rumors that he was a steroid abuser, and then publicly took the Dominican slugger to task for chickening out.)
In a subsequent e-mail, Raymer politely pointed out two things to Reilly:
1.) "I thought that was the point of the column -- that a physically fit guy like you could beat a doughboy like me in any competitive activity requiring legitimate athletic ability."
2.) Even if he somehow beat Reilly in golf, it would do nothing to disprove Reilly's contention that the average poker player is a hopelessly immobile lard-butt, "since there are plenty of top golfers -- even some major tournament winners -- who are fat."
