Barry Greenstein on Life, Poker, and Punching People in the Face Plus Upcoming AMA Event With Poker Announcer Joe "Stapes" Stapleton at FlopTurnRiver.Com
LOS ANGELES, November 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Stapleton to answer questions live at 4pm EST (9pm GMT)on 11/20/2013
On November 9, FlopTurnRiver.com hosted an Ask Me Anything (AMA) event with poker legend Barry Greenstein, and fans from around the world were able to interact with their favorite poker player. Poker hall of famer, distinguished philanthropist, and acclaimed author, Barry Greenstein provided thoughtful and insightful answers to the inquiries, even revealing a few previously unknown facts about himself in a great display of candor. To add to the excitement, Barry participated in an Open Face Chinese Poker match at FlopTurnRiver.com against a member, and provided commentary on his 28 rounds of play.
Here is a snippet from his interview, just as a glimpse of what went on:
Forum user, Galapogos:
"Have you ever punched someone in the face?
If so, how did it go down.
If not, when was the closest you came to it."
Greenstein's Response:
"I'm past the punching age now. My punch wouldn't hurt anyone. I've hit two people in a poker room. The first guy kept putting his hands on my wife and I told him if he did it again I would hit him. He was drunk but I had no choice. Now that I'm well known in the poker world, he always shakes my hand and tells people that we're good friends whenever I come back to the San Jose Bay Area for the WPT event there.
The other guy got barred after I hit him. Security was taking him out and he was screaming, "He hit me. Why are you throwing me out?" The supervisor said, "If Barry hit you, then you must have done something bad enough for us to bar you."

FlopTurnRiver.com is thrilled to announce that widely popular poker commentator and announcer, the man who "makes living making fun of poker players," Joe Stapleton, will visit its forums to answer questions from fans live, in real-time beginning at 4pm ET on November 20th, 2013.
FlopTurnRiver previously hosted an AMA with another funnyman of poker and WSOP announcer, Norman Chad, who delighted all participants with his hilarious answers. This event with Chad's British counterpart promises to be equally exciting and entertaining.
Stapleton has worked in various poker shows including both seasons of the PokerStars Big Game and is currently a commentator on the European Poker Tour alongside James Hartigan. Known for his hard work in and out of the studio, Joe is a poker expert himself, having been coached by some of the best in the business. His "on the money" remarks during telecasts have won him adoration from poker fans worldwide as he continues to enrich the poker jargon with his sharp witticisms.
