update: barry g is not rich
pokertrails.com interview with barry greenstein:
[ QUOTE ] Q: I’m assuming that given your status in the poker world and your obviously large bankroll, people ask you for money all the time. What was the strangest request for money you’ve received? A: Why is my bankroll obviously so large? It’s funny that people have decided I am extremely rich because I give money to charity. When I no longer need to make money, I will stop playing in side games. I hear stories about me making lots of money in the software business. I took a huge pay cut from my life as a poker player when I took that job to help get custody of my step kids, but I had to quit because I couldn’t afford to work at a normal job. [/ QUOTE ] i guess putting up $5M alone to play a series of heads up matches, playing in the highest stakes poker game in the world, and donating over $2M to charity in one year and counting doesn't make you rich these days.

Re: update: barry g is not rich
Wow, that's a little defensive of barryg. The fact that he has a large bankroll is "obvious" because he claims to be one of the best professional poker players in the world, and part of the "professional" part is making sure that the bankroll is adequate for the stakes he's playing. Since he plays the biggest game in the world against the best players his bankroll must be on the large side.
I think it's weird that barryg would confuse bankroll and personal wealth like that.

Re: update: barry g is not rich
when he asked, "why is my bankroll obviously so large?" the interviewer should have said, "because YOU claim to have made more money than ANYONE in poker cash games over the last 10 years."
if that's true - then his bankroll is obviously large.
