Most of the young guns of online poker stick to Texas hold’em. Thayer “THAY3R” Rasmussen’s game is more well-rounded. Although he has made most of his money in Texas hold’em, the 21-year-old University of Central Florida student has had success in a number of other games, especially Omaha eight-or-better.

Rasmussen has won a PokerStars daily $100 (with rebuys) tournament for $33,725 and finished in 13th place in the Full Tilt Online Poker Series III hold’em/Omaha mixed event for $1,423. His online winnings total more then $450,000. He also cashed in three 2006 World Series of Poker events, including a 19th-place finish in a $3,000 Omaha eight-or-better event, for $5,829.

Rasmussen is a multi-tooled threat; look for him to make waves in any poker variant he tries.
