You know who else didn't get invited to the first one? Chan, Negreanu, Harrington, Esfandiari, or Greenstein. Yet they didn't bitch quite as much...

Had those guys even written a book when the first one was held? In the first one they had Phil Hellmuth who was fairly new to poker-book-authoring. McEvoy had been writing for a while.

So...Poker by the Book III...will we get Mason or Ed Miller? IMO either one of those guys should've gotten a seat at PBTB II before a few of these guys. Seems that Negreanu, Esfandiari, Chan, and Greenstien were there because they were well known players who just happen to have written a book recently.

I want them to invite Gary Carson and Mason Malmuth and put them beside each other at the same table.

It is my dream that the WPT invite Rock Banker to PBTB 3. My wet, sticky dream.

I hate Greenstein-he is such a bore and so so weird-what's with only dating asian chicks?? I agree that Johnny Chan and him can't stand each other. And if you're not going to hold up the beer, get the F off my TV and don't participate in the tournament.

Give that beer to Scotty. Scotty wouldn't pass on a beer.

To be fair, McEvoy deserved to be on the first show a lot more than Sexton or Hellmuth. And the second episode was a complete joke, with only two real poker book authors in the field.

Wow. I dont see how anyone can hate Barry. He seems to be a great guy, a great poker player and a humanitarian. Anyone should be proud to end up like Barry. I agree that he should have held up the beer this episode because it was a freeroll that was basically an excuse to pimp out the players books, but I agreed with him when he didnt hold up the beer before when the sponsers gave nothing to the players.

How can anyone hate on a guy for dating only Asian women? Especially when they're as hot as the ones he dates. Who could blame him?

I'd rather watch him than 99% of the players out there. He's a class act. Never shows anyone up, even when he's given every opportunity (like when Hellmuth beat him into the pot on HSP). He also has a lot more intelligent things to say than most players. I don't find that boring. I get bored with Humberto and his chark. I'll take Barry anyday.

The thing I thought was funny about this episode was Greenstein (who btw I love) trying to sneak "I got Greensteined" into the poker lexicon, I mean come on, noone is really saying that are they?

I don't think I'd even know what someone meant if they told me they got Greensteined, I'd just be like "oh yeah? You mean some asian chick blew you .. off a hand?".
