remembe that beat with Micheal Simon

[jarrel]

Plays and looks too serious. Smile a little bit.

He looks like Dracula but he's a great player and he donates all his winnings to charity, that's pretty dam awesome!

[SmartKidZ]

Your profile on your website is complete bull. Who gave you the power to rate all poker players? Secondly, the fact that you did not include Mike Matsuow was disrespectful. I also don't like the fact that you always degrade poker. "I tell my kids they shouldn't player poker until they do something productive." I graduated from Stanford and was a successful attorney. I made 40000 grand a year. Now playing poker full time i make 400,00 grand a year and spend time with my family. Poker can be very productive if you a good game. You suck at tournaments!

He's a good player and giving his winnings to charity is truly awesome, but loosen up man. Laugh every once in awhile. I want to see this guy drunk or high.

[?????]

40000 grand a year, 400,00 grand a year...your too stupid to
make $20,000 a year...you can't even put a sentence together.
Your a Stanford grad my ass.

[Zig]

A man who recognizes his own past demons and helps others with theirs. Bravo, Barry.

Why the hell would a Stanford grad bother posting on an internet poster board?
If I were making $400,000 a year or, as he puts it, "400,00 grand" I wouldn't be posting here. I'd be on a Caribbean Island someplace.

Not to mention, a successful attorney that graduated from Stanford would make much more than $40,000 grand a year you lying moron. My Wife is a teacher and makes more than that.
No attorney making $40,000 a year would consider that successful. Especially, one that graduated from "STANFORD"
Get a life DONKEY!

I think part of Barry's motivation in saying that is that the "poker lifestyle" is looked at these days differently than when Barry was learning the game. Back in the day people knew that they had to pay their dues. Not to mention these pro players know how hard the life is. It isn't the way it looks on TV.

I'd like everyone to know,the good that can come out of poker and a hero of the poker community, i have been living a hell nightmare for 24 weeks,i am 31 years old, i was given 3-12 months to live a few months ago,i have widespread cancer that got into my brain.
through this time it has been my undoing,a worst nightmare,you always think if i ever get sick or hurt,id have people by my side to help me,well in my case it wasnt true, my father disowned me,my girlfriend left me, the only person who has stood by my side is my mother,and barry greenstein.
poker has always been a dream of mine to play professionally,and to play with some of my heros of the game.and barry has made this all come true for me,while i watched my outside world come caving down on me,and everyone leaving me,barry has stayed by my side. he's told me never to quit,through my darkest of times,it has helped, he told me we all die in the end.and its all true.and it truly helps
he's given me money to play with him on pokerstars,and has played numerous times with me,each time i smile and am happy.through 24 weeks of living bed ridden,ive only smiled those few times that i have played with him.. he dont need to spend his day playing 1-2 penny poker.but he does for me.and i want to thank him from the bottom of my heart.thank you
although i may never play in vegas,or meet my hero's,ive dreamt it all,inside my head, and its all i have .and it's always fun to live it inside my head.but barry makes dreams come true,i never thought id smile again after i got this death sentence,but i have. He is a true hero of the game,and a man who should be recognized for more than just poker.

He only donates his tournament winnings to charity, not cash game winnings.

[DonkeySlayer]
