Daniel Negreanu's the man, so is Barry Greenstein. Enough said.

Also, I don't ever recall Barry writing about: a guy trying to sell him leather jackets, Golden Tee, their video game, a failed online poker site, or black gay prostitutes, among other items.

Uhm, that's his web blog, so why should he be criticized for writing whatever's on his mind? I don't see how that is selling anything to anybody. Not interested? Don't read it. But I respect him for writing honestly about whatever's on his mind, and don't see why people should criticize him for that.

Barry is professional?....he was the one who made this entire situation open to the public by shooting off at the mouth on Cardplayers video brodcast. He accused top tourney players of being weak, and invited them to play the big game and see if they could beat it. Negreanu did the same, by inviting all to come and challenge him. I dont think Barry, talking down to all tournement players, is any more professional than negreanu. Let them settle it on the felt and play it out. The professinal way would have been to simply sit down at the Wynn and play, whoever finds out about it can talk amungst themselves, but this back and forth silliness is getting a little out of control on both sides.
I belive that greenstein may be more well suited for large cash ring games, and that daniel may be a tough opponent with his HU experience and aggresiveness, I would like to see negreanu win the matches 5-4...

This bickering back and forth between Berry and Danny reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons:

[Homer hits a home run in softball]
Bart: Homer, can I get you a beer?
Lisa: No, I want to get him a beer.
Homer: Kids, kids, kids! You can each get me a beer.

Probably because most here feels BG is taking a good wager and DN is taking a poor one.

E. In this current case, Barry G. is a well-respected poster on these forums, and even posts/answers questions in the hell-hole known as the WPT forum

Who does he post as?

I know it's hardly to the point, but I have never heard of the Venus Williams incident mentioned above. Did it really happen?

Daniel keeps getting critized, but why not BArry? is he that much better? Or is his BR that much bigger?

[/ QUOTE ]
Both.
