Title: Barry Busts One
Log: Barry Greenstein goes all-in from early position for about $5,000. Players take their turns folding all the way around, seemingly afraid of Barry and his reputation for being an outstanding player. The last player to act calls immediately, putting himself all-in, and revealing pocket Kings. With a knowing nod that he's an underdog, Greenstein turns over A-K. It's the Poker Gods who give Barry the knowing nod, however, when an Ace flops, no more Kings fall, and Barry nearly doubles up.


Blinds are at 100-200 when he pushes for 5000 here. Can someone explain this huge overbet all in? Maybe he wants to get over to the Wynn or double up qucik

I'm cooked.

I never really recovered from one tough hand: I limp with 77 from EP, intending to muck to any raise. Two limpers to LP, who min-raises to 100, and the SB and BB call. I call, as do the limpers. We go to the flop six-handed with 600 in the middle. It's a good flop for me: A 8 7 with two diamonds. Hyper-aggro LP is clearly itching to bet, so I check. He does so: 400 into a 600 pot. I make it 1200. He calls. Turn is the 2c. I check again and he bets 2000. I call. River is a horribly ugly A, no diamond, and instead of checkraising, I'm just checking. He bets 1500: just enough for me to call. He shows A8, and I lose about half my stack.

The quality of the play was poor: three guys at my table who really didn't know what they were doing. The rails are three deep and the place is chaotic. On the good side, there are scantily-clad Bodog women in every direction.
