A 22 year old Tom Dwan with exactly 50% refusing to take back money after Greenstein declined to run it twice. A generation of internet kids drooled in admiration. The good ole days.

As a 15 year old playing for play money on Stars, I legitimately thought this was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. Still holds up.

DC Councilmember Trayon White Sr. arrested for accepting $156,000 in bribes to influence city contracts. Accused of using his position to push for contract renewals worth millions, White faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

That FTP money was different

Great clip

I must be too high to comprehend this, why would he take money back? 🤣

He isn’t pushing any edge, they’re exactly flipping. If Barry said hey let’s go flip for 500k each he’d probably say no (or maybe not!) he doesn’t have an advantage so lowering the variance is good. Barry didn’t like running it twice because it incentivises nits to fast play hands otf at high stakes and reduce the variance of running it twice (Hellmuth loved this) but Ivey/greenstein would run it once to he more feared/people back off et

Makes a lot of sense if you assume he was backed or playing on a % profit deal on session. No incentive to lower the stakes

He said he thought he was an equity favorite is why he didn't agree.

The glory days. @GabeKaplan always provided excellent commentary - the “no deal” line just described the situation perfectly.

At least we still have @Mister_Keating ♠️♣️♥️♦️

Greenstein quit the game after this. Dwan buried him @barrygreenstein
