Chau/Barry G. Gossip

[Arbitrage]

I was reading some trip reports on AllVegasPoker and came across this:

"I found out from one Bellagio dealer that Chau Giang(sp?) isn't much of a card player and makes most of his money sports betting. Also, I heard the Barry Greenstein has been getting cold decked for about a year and is on a massive losing streak."


Can anyone verify these comments? I believe the Barry one, but it's hard to believe that Chau gets his money from sports betting. I thought Chau was one of the few pros that got all of his $ soley from poker.

Chau is actually a pretty solid player and whoever said that doesnt know what theyre talking about.

"Run it twice barry?" "No, only once."

Flop: Kxx x x

barry is smart for never running it twice assuming the variance doesnt bother him. not running it twice is +ev.

Variance is a bitch

One of the bellagio dealers also told me that skalnsky plays at poker, wins, then loses it all at blackjack. Somehow I highly doubt this. Not because I don't think he plays blackjack, but because every time I see him at the bellagio he refuses to pull his pants up and is just kinda walking around. That was a joke. Haha.
