custom36 4 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I dont buy many poker books and I know hes the enemy but I think it will be very insightful and not talk about starting hands and yada yada yada that we have heard thousands of times. probably aimed to people who already know what they are talking about....or think they do.Actually, I've already got the book summary...In this book, the spectacular Barry Greenstein will teach you how to almost be as good as him. Obviously, nobody will ever be as good as Barry, but with the help of this book, you can get closer than anyone has ever gotten. Barry is the greatest, and most gracious, poker player in the world and you will learn all of his secrets inside this book! Congratulations on picking up the greatest book of all time by the greatest man of all time. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites

semaj550 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I don't have any intention of buying it but borrowing it from a friend would probably be +EV. Link to post Share on other sites
Sushiman 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 What is his book going to be covering? I'm guessing limit since NL isn't really his specialty? Link to post Share on other sites

jten21 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 What audience will this book appeal to?I think the book will help any player move up one level from where he is. Although this book contains material for high-stakes poker players, it is readable by a mainstream audience. The most complimentary reviews have been by non-players who enjoy a glimpse at a world they can hardly imagine.I was just reading all the profiles at his website and couldnt stop laughing. I really like his writing and sense of humor which got me thinking about possibly buying the book....or at least reading it in the bookstore to try to decide. Link to post Share on other sites
Batch 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I know tuan lee read it before the woods event he won and said it was very very helpful.I plan on buying it.I believe his book will be very good.And why is he the enemy?Is he your enemy? Link to post Share on other sites

MilesZS 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 He's a good player that has been playing for a long time. I have enjoyed his writing in the past, so I don't see any reason not to buy it (unless of course it is deemed pure crap, a la Hellmuth's books). Link to post Share on other sites
jten21 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 And why is he the enemy?Is he your enemy?I was under the impression he was everyones enemy here... Link to post Share on other sites
MilesZS 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 And why is he the enemy?Is he your enemy?I was under the impression he was everyones enemy here...Just because Daniel and Barry don't get along doesn't mean everyone who posts here automatically hates him.I am not a vegitarian even though Daniel is. I am not a Christian even though Daniel is.Hopefully there are enough intelligent people here with minds of their own who can decide for themselves what they think of things or people.

Sushiman 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Barry isn't everyone's enemy. He's a world class player, a winner in the big game, and one of the most straightedged guys in a game filled with sleazy players. We just rag on him because he talks big, but if any deserves to talk that way he is one of them. Link to post Share on other sites

chips_bjg 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Is it 2-ply or just single? I will consider it if it is 2-ply, so it will feel good when I wipe my ass with it. Link to post Share on other sites
