Pokercast Episode 66 - Eli Elezra & Barry Greenstein Pokercast Episode 66 - Eli Elezra & Barry Greenstein

This might be my favorite episode of any poker radioshow. Every part. Heard it 3 times while grinding, will hear it again tomorrow.

...so kudos, respect, praises, einsame spitze, blæret... Hell, I'll even throw in some love. Well done, guys!

When Barry speaks everything just makes sense. Doesn't matter what it is. Barry's the ****in man FWIW.

Are you sure about that? The facebook app that's linked in the thread is from a company called Zynga.com. These guys just raised $39M in venture capital last year. I would have thought that Party Gaming would have deep enough pockets that they would not want to share the pie with VC guys. They seem to be pretty successful at recruiting new users given they've taken over the number one spot among poker applications on Facebook.

Zynga allows creating accounts from Yahoo, Facebook, MySpace and other sites, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some double-counting going on. They also have an iPhone client, which is the main reason I've checked this out. It isn't quite poker, but it's still somewhat entertaining late at night when staying up with a baby.

One of my favourite episodes - Eli is such a great guy and he came across incredibly well and was really interesting to listen to, while being the kind of guy you really want to sit at a table with. Obv, he would then take all my monies in prop bets but still....

The Andy Bloch BJ story is straight out of a Ben Mezrich book as well - very similar stuff happened to the guy in there as well when visiting Monte Carlo. Is there more to this similarity or did the MIT BJ teams all do the same casino's?

Another great show guys! Can't go wrong with Barry and Eli.

I really hope Eli writes a memoir or autobiography someday. I'd love to read about his life.

Amazing episode guys, I think you've hit about the perfect length with this one.

I haven't been able to watch HSP yet, but both Eli and Barry's insights are really interesting.

Good to have a bed-time story about the MIT Blackjack Team too - always interesting stories out of those guys.

So strong! Thanks for letting it run through Storytime, which is always entertaining. Congrats Johnny Douglas on mod status...it'll be up to you to make sure that Warteen's fiance has a nice, clean, bacon free place in the forums. (So I guess she probably shouldn't start off in the xtranormal thread you pawned.) Lastly, excellent musical selections this week, although I think I might have made room for some Bloc Party coming into the last segment. Already looking forward to next Tuesday!

Tried to find a mugshot and/or picture from Griffin's books of Andy. No dice. I did find this in the search results. Safe for work, just plain weird.

I agree, the more I listen to Barry on PokerRoad and 2+2, the more I appreciate him.

And for the length of the show, I don't think you guys should pay any attention to how long you record. For those who don't enjoy it, fastforward or don't download. I for one love all of it, (including the price!). Feel free to keep talking about my favorite subject, Poker!

Thanks for the great shows guys!

Beaver Buzz rocks!
