Default \"Did you address that to donkey?\"

It was only a matter of time before someone posted this. Glad I'm first!

Barry Greenstein raises to $60,000 from very early position and Devin Porter reraises $200,000 more. Greenstein immediately moves all in, and Porter calls. Greenstein shows A-K, and Porter shows A-J. Greenstein has Porter in bad shape as we head to the flop. The flop comes Jh-6c-4h and the tables have turned, now Greenstein needs a king to stay alive. The turn brings the 4s, and the river the 3c, and Greenstein is eliminated on a bad beat. Barry Greenstein earns $30,000 (which will undoubtedly be given to charity) for his efforts.


Barry Greenstein keeps a copy of his book, "Ace on the River," with him during tournaments lately. Whenever he is eliminated, he signs that copy for the player that busted him, with a brief description of the final hand. (If he wins a tournament, he signs the book for the runner-up.)


As Greenstein hands this book to Devin Porter, someone in the crowd shouts, "Did you address that to donkey?"

it sounds like greenstein had something like 400K to 500K. from what people have said greenstein is a very aggressive player. so if you decided initally to reraise to 200K you are probably getting 2 - 1 to call the rest. does not seem like ridiculous play at all.

Seems a bit presumptuous to carry your own book around so you can sign it and give it to someone if/when you get knocked out.

Yeah, that seems like something Hellmuth would do.

I don't have a problem with it. It is a nice looking book, even if too short on strategy for some people. Now Hellmuth's book, poorly printed on super cheap paper....

this reminds me of when paul phillips used to bust out of tournaments and he would give the guy who busted him a chip that said "you put a bad beat on paul phillips."
