Barry Greenstien Features on “On The Rail”
Nick talks to Barry Greenstien and the topic off online players v live players again generates a good debate.

Personally, while it was a good interview, BG does still come across a bit bitter and slightly elitist lately. Obviously he is a world class player but like Negranu some of the views expressed are becoming a bit self centred..which is fine..poker is an individual pursuit most of the time..but not sure they represent the direction of poker in general (eg higher buyins to eliminate the online ‘riff raff’).
As for VC, which was a great contrast, I cant believe you didnt mention the possibility of a night on the tiles with the Scrabble topic.
Very good otherwise.

I don’t think he’s writing off on line players at all he just believes he has an edge over them live and against most of them hes almost certainly right. He openly admits they have an edge over him online.
Don’t know why this would cause you to ‘lose respect’ for him - I love that he speaks his mind and he’s actually been something of a bridge between the live players and younger online players
He’s the man for me …but each his own i guess
Thanks for the comments guys
