Poker really is everywhere.... (ATTN U of Illinois grads)
I know there are a bunch of Illinois grads so i thought this might be of interest...
I just got around to reading the alumni magazine from the University of Illinois College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (spring/summer edition) and there is a nice Alumni profile on Barry Greenstein. If you are a U of I grad take a look at the LAS newsletter... decent article on Barry. cubs

I'm also pretty sure that crockpot is way too lazy to actually go around putting fliers up on campus. Just noticed that the flyers were said to be posted last year. Its even less likely to be him then since I never heard about him doing them then, and he probably would have either used my printer to print them or tried to get me to help putting them up.

Longtime lurker....first time poster.
I live in Champaign, and while I'm not in school anymore there are certainly some very good players around here. Didn't know Barry was a grad though before reading that article. It's a good one.

Welcome aboard Cheno
The article stats that Barry completed his degree in computer science in 3 years before pursuing a PhD in math. He never completed his PhD dissertation though, "a fact that bothers him today". cubs
