Vi kommer träffa Barry Greenstein. Vad vill du fråga honom?

[Juggler]

Under PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (EPT PCA) kommer vi få möjlighet att träffa Barry Greenstein för en frågestund.

 

Vad kan då inte vara bättre än att låta våra kära medlemmar komma med frågorna.

 

Så posta era frågor till Barry (på engelska) i denna tråd. Tisdag kväll stänger vi gruppen och väljer ut ett antal frågor som ni skickat in.

Vi hoppas kunna publicera svaren här redan samma vecka.

 

Vi tänkte även passa på att smyga med ett litet pris. Den medlem, som vi anser, ställt den "Bästa frågan" kommer att få möta Barry Heads-up och spela om $250 på PokerStars. Datum för denna turnering annonseras senare.

Hi Barry.

 

What do you think about the differences between live poker and internet poker. I heard you say something about this on an episode of High stakes and I was wondering if you prefer online or live poker. Which way do you think is the best way to learn the game and where do you think he big money is. In live games or in internet games?

[bajenager]

hi barry

 

what is your favorites drink?

 

[pokerpewe]

Hi Barry, first off i have to say I admire you as a poker player and wish to be half as successful as you. Onto my question. By watching High Stakes Poker I sometimes get the feeling that some players are there just to set up an loose image for future cash-games, whilst you seems to be playing tight all through the games.

Dont you think it would be profitable to show a looser image on television other than your ordinary play and if not, how come?

 

 

/Cheers

Hi Barry, When and why did you decide to grow your awsome beard? And allso, does the mentioned beard help you play better? Perhaps to hide some facial expression thus eliminating any tells?

 

cheers

[mrYamamoto]

Hello Barry! Is it possible to hide, for example the in that beard of yours???

[León]

Hello Barry! You are a person I truly admire since you donate your winnings to charity. You really deserve cred for that.

 

But I have one question that is a little bit connected to this.

Do you ever feel bad for all those gambling-addicts who you have won money from? Addicts who have maybe in the end, lost their "lives" (family etc.) due to their poker-addiction.

[Jennez]

I'm wondering why you suddenly took a seat in the big game in LV when you up until then had played strictly midstakes in LA? Did Doyle have anything to do with it? If so, do you think that gives any fuel to the theory of collusion in the big game?

[4queens]

As one of the biggest stars in poker, do you take any responsebilities to

all those young people that are watching you play for thosends of dollars in TV-shows, and can get the image of that it's easy to make a good living "only by playing poker"?
