Few people have seen as much of the poker world as Barry Greenstein. From high-stakes cash games to major tournament wins, Greenstein was among the first crop of legitimate post-boom celebrity poker players.

Greenstein was playing poker for a living before most of today’s young guns were even born. He’s been one of the most successful and respected players in the game for decades, and he’s gained a unique perspective on poker from those years of experience.

That’s why we’re kicking off our new video series Easy Game with a few words of wisdom from Barry Greenstein.

PokerListings.com explores Greenstein’s origin story and the changes he’s seen the poker world undergo since his career began so many years ago.

Greenstein was gracious enough to invite us into his home in Los Angeles to share the story of a bright young man from Chicago who grew up to be one of the greatest poker players who ever lived.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the first installment in our new interview series Easy Game.
