      @mohammedhamza8357 It may have been a little mean, yes. The interview is a flexible thing, where one might learn about only one person, or the interviewer as well. Ivey may have felt like Barry was putting himself into the spotlight a little too much for an Ivey focused recording. I think they are good friends, though. The meanness is probably like with two brothers.

    I feel like the old guy thinking kids these days have it made because they have endless high end poker to watch. I used to stay up all night watching poker after dark to learn anything I could. Phil Ivey was such a huge name and then Tom Dwan was dominating online and became my favorite player. Then I just stopped playing for various reasons.
    I have to check myself though, because the previous generation would say how lucky I was to be able to watch poker when the only resource available were books. And the generation before would say how lucky they were to have books.
    But I still think the jump to the internet of 2022 and really the last 5-10 years before that has been the biggest jump in resources available.
    I might have to play some poker, I hadn't even thought about the game in years until this popped up.
