Hi barry,

 

What is your thoughts on online poker in the future? Do you still think pp who today live on poker will still be able to in like 10 years? Or is this something that be harder and harder with all countrys that ban people from playing poker online.

 

 

Goodluck to you in Bahamas and in other events to come.

 

 

P.S soz if you have hard time understanding my english

[tetris]

I have read that you started playing poker at the age of 12 and you actually made money while doing it, but stopped in benefit of studies. You will not learn or allow your children to play poker until they get there own degree. Why is that? Don't you think that being a poker player as an occupation is not enough?

 

In terms of poker strategy how much have your degree in mathematics benefited you? I presume that you rely alot on maths and most of your actions are based on maths, do you think that in lets say 10years there will be bots online that gives the player 0EV?

 

What’s in your opinion the trickiest about poker? What is hardest to manage for the average player to become a long term winner?

 

You are being called the Robin Hood of poker for your great generosity (over $4miljons in donations)? Have you had any other nicknames? What’s the story behind them?

 

Have you ever traveled to Sweden? Do you know any Swedish words or sentences?

 

Paintamants has become quite popular at the 2+2 forums, what's your thoughts on paintaments? Do you like being "paintamented"?

[Supertequila]

Många av de här frågorna har han ju svarat på i tidigare intervjuer o i sin bok.

 

In your book you promote the idea of buying in short in cash games, which in your opinion has a lot of advantages to buying in deep and u mention that whenever possible, you buy in short yourself.

 

A lot of online players resent this idea and mean that one loses too much winnings in the long term by buying in short, hence the idea is EV negative.

 

Would you like to talk about advantages with buying in short versus deep and how come you feel that the disadvantages of losing winnings in the long run are outweighed by the advantages of buying in short.

 

Och så en till:

 

In your book, and when you comment poker, you put emphasize on always betting turn when called on the flop bet. This goes against the idea of pot control with a marginal hand. But you mean that the meta game aspects of turn aggression overweighs advantages of pot control.

Would you like to elaborate on that?

[jon123]

What's your thought on players that can't explain why they are making a certain move? We have a couple of successful players at pokerforum.nu that seems to just play on "feel" and can't really justify the moves. How long do you think they will survive in the 10/20+ games, if they just keep on playing?

 

Do you ever make crazy bets on the golf course and on other things like all the other high stakes ballas?

[Tottyville]

What's the three first things that comes to mind when you think about Sweden?

 

Could you locate Sweden on a map?

 

Have you heard about Pokerforum.nu before this interview?

 

When you're getting interviewed, do you prefer questions related to poker or non pokerrelated questions?

[cruel_dragon]

How do you prepare before an tournament or a long session?

[Ignatius]

What type of players do you dislike having at your table? Why?

[fift2]

Mr Greenstein,

 

Many people with an active/former career in sports, music, movies, business etc are now playing poker with various success.

 

You shall choose and coach one famous person that doesn't play today.

Who would it be?

What skills do you see in this person to be great in poker?

How long will it take until he/she plays like a pro and would get recognized (respect) by other pros in WPT/EPT?

 

Best regards

fift2

Nån spec. anledning till att folk inte kan engelska men kan spela poker?

Barry, is it a hassle to maintain your beard as well as you seem to, or is it easier than one might think?

 

Apart from being observant at the table, what do you think is the most important ability or quality of a professional, winning, poker player?

 

Do you concider yourself to be in the top five tournament players in the world? Similarly, how would you rate yourself in a cashgame?

 

What's your oppinion about the legendary Stu Ungar? What do you think made him so successful at the tables?

1. Are online pokerplayers in general equipped with a less appealing personality than players who "only" play live?
   
2. For what amount would you quit playing poker?
   
3. Who among the top players do you consider have the best discipline regarding money management?
   
4. Have you ever had second thoughts about winning money from someone who you know shouldn't loose his/her money?
   
5. Out of 10 random people new to poker, how many would you make a winner at Texas NL CG 2/4 SH online in 40 hours?

[grandyz]

Who do you think is the best online/live NLHE player at the moment? Why? Why isn't that you?

[MrTillborG]

hello barry, if you had to pick a opponent in a heads up match, would it be a young agressiv player like Phil Ivey, a layed back, old school player like Doyle Brunson, or a "something between and crazy" like Phil Helmuth?

[sturedenstore]

Hello Barry!

 

For how long do you think the poker will continue to grow, and do you think it will become as big in Asia as it has in Europe/USA?

Hello Barry!

How do you think I should play to beat you and win the $250?

[Naknemo]

Who is the player you have the most respect for? I know you have meet Doyle many times, but is there a young player that have made a great impression on you? Like Daniel Negreanu or Antonio Esfandiari?

[Chipleader_87]

When was the last time you cried and what was the reason?

[DinJävlaKyckling]

[IngeRik]

if you were the only one who was aloud to add on unlimited starting-stacks á $10k to your stack before wsop main event 2009, how many would you buy and why?

[mrYamamoto]

Are cashgames taxed in the US?, is that (atleast part of) why you donate so much to charity? charity donations are deductable,right?
