And, of course, I lost a lot of money producing my book because of the high quality and the low price, so I don't look at it as a business venture.

"Amusing anecdote

I was heading to the Las Vegas airport to fly back to Los Angeles a few days after I had met Patrik and his friend Roland de Wolfe. Roland told me they were taking a limo to LA and asked if I would join them. They wanted to talk about the upcoming Professional Poker League as well as other poker topics.

I felt like it would be a nice gesture on my part to travel with them, since I assumed this was their first trip to the West Coast. A limo to LA costs around $700, but it is free if you are a high limit casino player. They had arranged to take a Bellagio limo with a very pleasant driver who was a seven-card stud player.

Half way to LA, the driver stopped at a Greek restaurant and Patrik gave him his tip for the trip. Patrik handed the driver a wad of money, and although he didn’t ask me to pay my share, I insisted. Patrik told me he had given the driver $1900, which seemed like an absurd tip, but I gave Patrik $700 for my share. I assumed Patrik was unfamiliar with American money and tipping amounts, which I had seen before with foreigners.

Being helpful, I told them that $1900 was a lot to give the limo driver. Roland told me that the limo cost $1700 and they had only tipped $200. I could have gotten the limo comped if they had told me. I now realized that the driver had been undertipped, so I gave him $300 more when we got to my house. "

f**k me

I see Barry's website has music on every page.

If he was to change the song on Patrik Antonius's page to Rick Astley 'Never Going to Give You Up', in all seriousness I am sure there are 2+2ers who would make a donation to his charity.

Not me, I'm busto. But perhaps you, reader?

how did you guys miss this:

Title: Superman
Artist: Five for Fighting
Year: 2006

Reason for this song choice
Stories about Patrik’s superhuman poker ability lead one to believe he is from another planet.

" Tuan took his share in cash, since he didn’t have a bank account. He bought a duffle bag at the gift shop and then took a limo to New York with his friends, so he could catch the next flight out. Hasan stayed in New York, but Thor Hansen and Nam Le accompanied Tuan to JFK airport. When they went through security, Tuan was asked what was in the bag. He told them he had over $1 million in cash. They laughed at the obvious joke, but stopped laughing when the bag was opened."

I thought you guys were all aware of my book by now, whether you read it or not, but point well taken.

What I meant is I don't get paid by outside advertisers, even though I get continual offers for banner ads or payment for links to other sites.

Yes, Barry if you hadnt indicated that your site did'nt make you money when much of it is dedicated to selling your book I wouldnt raise an eyebrow. As it is its a freindly rebuke and I like and appreciate Barry's site and his contribution to the poker world.
