I don't think he has a problem at all. The guy can definitely afford to lose big sums so he's able to make big bets. As he said in the video he doesn't bet what he doesn't have.

Your talking about a group of elite degen gamblers...these guys have $10k prop bets on how many ice cubes a delivered drink will have. He is on a totally different planet when it comes to betting and I think he prob got cooled on some big bets and thought to stay with poker...just a thought.

ill throw more gas on the fire... what about this possibility... BARRY LET HIS HOUSE GET PUT ON CARDPLAYER TV BECAUSE HE IS RAISING INTREST ABOUT THE HOUSE... BECAUSE...HE IS GOING TO SELL THE HOUSE TO RAISE CASH.

i am not saying this is the case, i am just bringing up the possibility. i mean, what other motivation is there for barry to showcase his house besides trying to give the house more panache? i hope this is not the case, because i really like barry and the style of poker that he plays. barry gives the pursuit of poker lots of respectability. i mean, one barry greenstein makes up for 20 shipp shipp mcgipp types.

No - it's part of an MTV Cribs style series, and they've been to lots of players' houses. Unless you think Brunson, Benyamine, Negreanu etc are also busto and part of the same estate-agent-baiting conspiracy.

Eli took a sizable amount off him @ the WSOP in props im pretty sure, so that with a downswing and he could be hurting right now.

I also noticed his comments on the cardplayer vid.

It is not like these guys are worth 20 mil + so they gamble way beyond their means. Luckily, Barry has tons of earning potential and about 1000 willing backers so it'd be hard for him to go permabust.
