About Barry
Barry Greenstein, known as "The Robin Hood of Poker", is one of the most underrated players out there today. He donates
100% of his tournament earnings to charity, primarily Children Incorporated, an organization that sponsors some 15,000
kids in 21 countries.
Born and raised in Chicago, he has a PhD in mathmatics and now lives in California. Greenstein, a former Symantec
software, seems like a very low-key, shy person but he isn't shy about busting out other players.
Barry Greenstein retired from Symantec in 1991 at age 36 when he began to play poker full time. Greenstein was exposed to
poker at a young age as his father was a noted poker player in the Army.
As of 2004 Greenstein has one World Series of Poker bracelet, one World Poker Tour championship, and over $3.5 million in
tournament winnings.
