Barry Greenstein - Barry ''Charity'' Greenstein Barry Greenstein: Poker Icon Barry Greenstein is known as an aggressive player at the tables, as well he should be: Greenstein is the author of Ace on the River, a book about poker playing techniques that is chockfull of insider tales, poker philosophies, practice hands, as well as advice for neophyte and adept poker players. Oddly enough, Greenstein believes that he holds a number of weaknesses when playing poker-but it certainly doesn't show at the tables. Barry Greenstein is a native of Chicago, but now lives in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Greenstein learned how to play the game of poker as a child when his father exposed him to the game. As Greenstein became older, his adoration for the game never waned and he continued to play poker on a regular basis, even while working toward a PhD in mathematics. Greenstein managed to earn a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, but the PhD did not come to fruition; life circumstances forced Barry to leave college and find work. Greenstein found work with Symantec. Of course, his career with Symantec ended when he turned 36, retired, and began focusing all his attention on his professional poker career: a career that has clearly flourished.
