Barry Greenstein adds anecdotes to his player analysis
The best one was this one on Phil Helmuth:
"Amusing anecdote: I first played with Phil in a no-limit side game in Los Angeles in 1992. I didn’t pay attention to tournament poker back then, but I had heard that he was a cocky kid who had won a big tournament. He was playing fast and loose and showing his hands and needling people whenever he outplayed them. Well, I was pretty cocky too. Phil opened for a raise, I reraised and Phil called. After the flop, I bet, Phil raised and I reraised him all-in. He thought for a while, showed me top pair and then folded. I showed him Deuce-Three offsuit which bore no relation to the flop. Phil stood up and said, “Nice play buddy, but that’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done. Do you realize that giving me that kind of information is going to cost you all of your money? It’s because of players like you that I make millions of dollars a year playing poker.”

Re: Barry Greenstein adds anecdotes to his player analysis
How is the one for Bobby Baldwin. He sounds like complete ass hole. Yeah fire a guy for doing exactly what you pay him to do.
[ QUOTE ] Bobby doesn’t play where he works because he thinks it looks unprofessional and he doesn’t want any possible altercations with employees. One of the last times he played at the Mirage, he was sitting next to the dealer, when a security guard nudged him and told him to move so he could get the drop box. Bobby said, “Give me a second, buddy. I just have to figure out what to do with this hand. The security guard said, “Move, please.” Bobby said, “Do you realize I’m the president?” The guard replied, “I don’t care if you’re @#^*ing George Bush -- you need to move.” That was the guards last day on the job. [/ QUOTE ]
