Are you kidding? Yes, you have to be. Do we really care what his kid's last name is? Geeze.

I thought everyone knew he was married and took his wife's last name.

Why is Barry Greenstien's son's last name Joe Sebok. Shouldn't it be Joe Greenstien? Did he change his name just at the poker table so he wouldn't have to deal with the legacy of his dad?

Apparently Barry adopted his first wife's three kids. He really loved these kids, I guess, and when they divorced he went so far as to get a job at Symantec to help with the custody fight. I think he won custody. Anyway, Joe Sebok's name comes from Barry's first wife's husband.

And that's a long way of changing his name to disassociate from his dad! LOL no offense but you must have led a sheltered life? Good for you!

here's a good reference for starting to know the relationship better - and Joe is a great writer also. He's presenting his column as one might start out learning poker. Well, not exactly, he's got a pretty good coach...

Actually, though... sorry... I thought there was a reference to why he is nick'd Bear. I know I read it somewhere but I can't seem to find it! Perhaps one of the other Sebok articles has something?

My half brother has a different last name our mother.

Think about that one for a while.

Ok I thought about it for a while and I still think it's not a real sentence.

Thank u David. U guys don't have to be mean to me. I just asked a question.

Bye the way is Sebok a Jewish name? Just wondering if Barry remarried to a Jewish Woman? No I am not Anti-Jew for asking that question...
