I saw him go at it with H@ll the other night heads up on a 100/200 table, or
maybe it was the 200/400. Whatever, Barry made him wild-assed bit bets and
the kid from Linkoping or whatever just got his clock cleaned there.
But really, Barry playing 200/400 is like me playing .01/.02. There isn't a
game on the planet that could really test his mettle.

Barry Greenstein, by his own admission, is not super rich. Many people
incorrectly assume that he is another independently wealthy "computer guy"
like Paul Phillips or Phil Gordon. Guys who made tens of millions in the
computer industry before taking up poker. Not true. Which makes the fact
that Barry has given millions in tournament winnings to charity all the
more remarkable. However, I agree with you about his poker talent. His
poise and self-control at the table are excellent.

Barry donates his tournament money to charity ... and plays there to
win for those reasons as much as he plays to win cash games for his own
bankroll ...

It's true, but I've heard Barry say that no matter what the stakes, he always
plays to get the money.

HIs house is super nice.
It was on a television show about a year ago. I'm not sure the name of
it, but this Brit trys to convincve him to teach her how to play poker
and also more than a couple times asks him to marry her...lol.
It was quite an interesting show. Barry was very serious, even though
the woman really wasn't. She was somewhat like a Ally G.
Good Luck!
