Re: Will I come on the show again?
[ QUOTE ]
I also had a neat idea. I have almost all the 400-800 players' cell phone numbers. If they made a play that looked strange, I would call them up while in the booth and ask them, "What were you thinking?" I think they would give me more insightful answers than if Bart or Dave or almost anyone else asked them. (I have played with, loaned money to, and been sought out for advice from almost all of them.) [/ QUOTE ] This idea - it is excellent. I wonder if they would mind the interuption in the middle of a big game though... Hope it happens!

Re: question for barry
[ QUOTE ]
I have a question for Mr. Greenstein. Barry, It seems like you have some type of personal vendetta against tournament winners and the recognition they recieve. Why is this? The overexposure of lucky winners is good for poker because it shows that the average person can go up against the pros and get lucky once or twice for a 100k+ payday. Hence, the growth of poker. Also, do you find the fact that the only watchable poker games are NL hold-em and possibly PL Omaha Hi bad for poker in general? (Like no interest in Limit hold-em/7 card/Omaha hi-lo). [/ QUOTE ] 1. I, personally, get a lot of exposure and acclaim for my tournament wins. I am coddled by the media. But I feel like I should set the record straight for the professionals in casinos and side games (and even playing online poker) around the country who aren't able to travel and enter lots of tournaments. Since the media is so biased toward the tournament players for obvious reasons, I want to balance the coverage. My vendetta started when I would see the childish antics of tournament players, which led people to think that is how professional poker players act. I would say, "That guy is not a real poker professional. He's a charicature of a poker player." In many cases, the player in question was not a winning player, but had been staked in enough tournaments to build up a resume. 2. I don't watch much poker. The poker show viewership is so diverse that I don't know what is right to show. I certainly am not a representative viewer. Barry

No no no!!! I meant I wish you jumped into the game so we could watch!
I meant I wish we could have seen you play in the game with the hole cards. Remember, the show is only broadcast to us webviewers from 6:00-10:00 Bicycle time. Next time Barry!!!!

Re: Will I come on the show again?
Cell phones aren't allowed at the table and I don't think the Bike would like it if you were giving advice to the players as they step away form the tables. Kinda messes with the game's integrity.
