I don't normally start threads like these but I just had to give it up to barry g for his "they spend it on hookers and blow" line in the recent episode of The Scoop.

I have concluded it is impossible for Barry Greenstein to NOT be every decent poker player's hero.

There's just one thing I don't understand ...

Barry's side games have dried up and he's better than the Internet players. So why doesn't he just play online and school those n00bs for their moneyz?

Barry never said that he was a better internet player than some or all internet players. He was asked to comment on the fact that many people in the forums believe that online pros are better than live pros even in a live bricks and mortar setting. I believe Barry inferred that he believed himself to be a better live player than the internet players and said he would bet his money to prove it.

He never claimed to be the worlds greatest online player so that may be the reason he doesn't school those noobs for their money....IMO

Barry is articulate, perceptive and smart. Worthwhile interview.

Yes, I agree with just about everything he says.

The only thing which doesn't sit well is why he tries to 'educate' the youngsters and set them straight. From a poker perspective, shouldn't he be agreeing and stroking their egos?
