This week's Podcast features an exclusive interview with poker legend Barry Greenstein.

Few (if any) poker players in the history of the game have had more success than Barry Greenstein.  Whether it's No-Limit Texas Holdem, Omaha Holdem, Stud, or Draw Poker... Barry has solid winning results that will close the mouth of even the most-cynical critic.

Greenstein crushed live poker tournaments throughout the 1990s in the state of California.  Recently, he has earned 11 cashes in World Poker Tour events, including 4 Final Tables and 2 Wins.  What's more, is that Barry donates 100% of his net tournament winnings to charity... most of which are not deductible under current U.S. law.

But Barry is also legendary in the cash game realm of poker.  He's known throughout the world as a consistent winner in the largest organized cash games in existence... $4,000/$8,000 Limit and NL/PL Mixed games with a maximum loss $100,000 per hand, per player.

Barry called-in for his interview around 12:00 Noon Pacific Time... after enduring an all-night session that ended a little before 9:00am.  He is one of those rare people who can be blunt and to the point without coming off as offensive.

We invite our members to check out his website, www.barrygreenstein.com, where visitors are able to find info on charities, Ace on the River, and even see how some of the toughest poker players in the world are ranked in Barry's eyes.  Barry's screen name on PokerStars and here on PocketFives.com is barryg1.
