I like Barry Greenstein a lot because of the money he raises for charity, which apparently has had a domino effect in the poker community, especially with the money the top pros are making now. I had some issues with Greenstein's book "Ace on the River", which is really a coffee table book. It has more pictures than useful information. Some of the info near/at the end of the book is useful, but it can be read at the bookstore. You don't need to spend $30 on this book.

I find it a little convenient that Greenstein got all mouthy about other players the same month his book came out. His series of heads up matches against Daniel Negreanu seems like publicity more than poker.

The first post in the thread referred to Greenstein as one of the most underrated players in poker. To that list I would like to include Joe Awada, Michael Gracz and Allen Cunningham. Unfortunately the "talent" of a lot of players in equated with how much of a media whore they are. The silent but deadly types are just as good or better.
