Understanding 7-Card Stud with Barry Greenstein

Longtime poker pro Barry Greenstein was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2011, and for good reason.

A player of high-stakes cash games for decades, Greenstein has additionally amassed over $8 million in tournament earnings since the early 1990s, including collecting cashes since 1992 at the World Series of Poker where he's won three bracelets.

Greenstein was back at the WSOP again this summer where he earned five more cashes in no-limit hold'em, 2-7 NL single draw, mixed NLH-PLO, mixed PLO/PLO8/Big O, and the eight-game mix.

As that line-up of games might suggest, Greenstein has long been a proponent of playing more than just no-limit hold'em, noting in his book Ace on the River: An Advanced Poker Guide and elsewhere how it is important to learn different variants and become a more well-rounded, complete poker player.
