Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

seems like he wants everyone to know that hes a humanitarian. Can't he talk about other [censored]?

Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

Maybe he's hoping some people will follow his example.

My god this guy is an ugly mofo. Looks like a monkey/an ape. I guess the Asian chicks think all the "white" guys look the same. Barry realized long ago that its +EV to go after Asian tail. Smart guy!

As you get older you realize that the way someone looks means very little.

Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

Another good interview to watch of him is
this one
from Dutch Pokernews. His interview starts at 3:35. Interesting bit about Sam the Jeweler and the bounty he has on himself.

Yeah, but at least I don't look like monkey slash ape. I bet Joe Sebok thanks God every day that he's adopted.

Why does Joe have a different last name than Barry if Barry adopted him? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

You're 45 and you're making fun of how another man looks? I think you'd be happy to trade lives with Barry G.

I agree he is taking a dig at 2+2, but I'm not sure it's entirely fair. I've made thousands of dollars playing poker thanks to 2+2. I'm a recreational player who has consistently beaten 30-60 hold em games the last few years and have ventured up as high as 80-160 with some success. I kind of agree with his point, though, that as the stakes increase, selective deviation from 2+2 strategy (based on the opponents, the nature of the game at a particular time, etc.) can be more profitable than strictly sticking to what S&M advocate.

I have no doubt, however, that sticking to basic S&M strategy will consistently beat most 30-60 hold em games.

Having said all that, Barry G beats the 4K-8K game at the Bellagio, so I suppose that entitles him to say whatever the hell he wants about other writers. Not many players have credentials that compare favorably with his when it comes to poker.

I agree 100%...what an [censored] giving all that money to charity and what not. I wish he would just stop don't you agree?

Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

Interesting point about Barry's interview is that he makes it sound like his book is a "How To" book. Barry's book is more a life lessons book as compared to how to play poker. I would love it if he wrote a book on Poker Theory.

The levels that Barry plays vs the levels that most poker players play are completely and entirely different. Certainly many of the concepts, ideas and strategies are the same, but the game is at a completely different level. So, while the advice might be "wrong" to Barry, it certainly may be the right advice depending on the level that is being played.

I thought his book was really good. I don't get why people don't like it, have heard this opinion from a few people now...

He's up there amongst the best, imho, if you consider his results in the big game, tournaments, etc. He seems to be very well respected amongst almost all the other players too, from what I've heard in interviews. Not just because of what he does for charity, but also for his playing abilities.

Discussing who is THE best player is pretty useless, imo. But don't let me stop y'all

Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

Barry also gave a pretty funny and candid interview on the Ante Up podcast a few weeks back. You can find it listed under recent episodes about 4 or 5 shows back:

Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

Love Barry, did not love his book. I think it appeals to people who have more leaks in their lives.

Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

lol, for some reason, Barry just comes off as a good person. Part of it is his charity stuff, and maybe the other part is what he's learned at the poker table - appear friendly, etc, but he seems like a decent human being, especially compared to other poker players.

Re: Good interview with Barry G
 

So much respect for that man, a true class act.
