This Thursday at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Barry Greenstein will be speaking about math and its relation to poker (and probably plugging his new book). Foellinger Auditorium at 7:30.
It's open to everyone and completely free, so if you want to come by, feel free. (My source is the news-gazette, a local paper) |

Isn't poker banned on that campus?
Not that that would necessarily keep them from wanting Greenstein to speak. I just think it's a little bit ironic. I wonder if the read the stuff in Ace on the River about Barry's playing experiences in school. |

Well Barry Greenstein is a UIUC alumnus.
As for poker being banned from campus that certainly didn't stop me (and Bugstud, and Goblinmason and Stacysmom and others). |

Oh is he? I had no idea.
I don't attend, but I visited UIUC a few weeeks ago. Very beautiful campus. I just find it a little bit ironic, for reasons I hope are self-apparent, that a man who has made millions of dollars playing a game that is prohibited on campus is being invited to address the student body. Regardless, I'd be thrilled to hear him if I were nearby. |

I am. Always willing to get to know some 2+2ers in the area. And also always looking for some local cash games/tournies.
