Tong G on Telly last night ..EPT

[TonyG]

Ok no deal was ever done although there was talk about a deal.

 That is the way I played and after watching the tape I do not regret it, I guess no body will come for poker advice to me. I am one fo those players that does not talk about bad beats or previuos hands and why I played them like that . Once it got heads up I had a certain strategy set in my mind and I went for it. It did not work out, it is a littel missleading though since only about 10% of the heads up hands were showed. We started at 500k for me vs 1.5 mill and without a flop we were level.

I said in another thread earlier today, you MUST try & watch NEXT WEEK's edition of Ppoker 425, starting next Wednesday.

It's no sychophantic smoke up the arse jobbie, I promise.

My first question was (something along the lines of)... "you were totally obnoxious in the Paris WPT, da de da de da". Wait & see how he handled that bouncer, then judge for yourselves.

[I KNOW IT]

Yes, I think they do cut a lot of the coverage for UK tv. When I spoke to P Maxfield about his programme which was aired last week, I said I thought R Hollink 's play with Q 10 was odd, but he said T Lee had raised Robs big blind about 7 times in a row. That was never shown and can give false impressions of peoples play.
Obviously they cant show every hand, but I was suprised that they didnt show the infamous passing of KJ suited by Hassan Habib for a very small reraise by Tuan Lee. That hand was shown on US tv .
Paul said his dvd copy is 3 hrs long, where as the uk programme is only 1hr 45 mins long.

Ithought you were great entertainment Tony, and remind me to buy you a drink when I see you.

[Blackbeard]

thanks for the honest reply.

See i myself am a big player, £2.25 mult player on crypto(have to learn somewhere)etc etc LOL!!

Still you sound like a decent/ freindly guy, and wish you all the luck in future BIG mtts!

I have to say I thought this show was one of the best poker shows I have ever seen....maybe for all the wrong reasons but great entertainment.

Tony, could I ask, what did Surindar have to say at the end, it looked very amicable.

[TonyG]

I am very cool with Surinder. After the game he was ok no hard feelings he is a real pro and desrved to win. On the day he played much better then me.

I'm not sure wether to post about this (cause I’m a newbee) but I’m not entirely sure about Tony’s conduct…

I USED to play rugby and I know this might not be the same, but, on the pitch what some people said to each other was terrible (me being the recipient on more than a few occasions!) and it fuelled an ‘on pitch’ rivalry that got everyone going. I know poker isn’t a team sport but when bad words were exchanged between sides it just makes you want to get ‘that bloke’ even more. I think Tony’s play was neither good nor bad, but, what I do know was that after every match we all sat at the bar and bought each other a beer… even the bloke who made my mate’s face look a right mess! The point being… we’re all ADULTS playing an ADULTS game… I have NO EXPERIENCE PLAYING LIVE (yes I am a virgin!) but I must admit that if I’d experienced Tony’s behaviour  at the table I’ve been a little pissed  and it would’ve put me off my game, but, at the end of the day he has made ME play BADLY because of his actions and that’s the thing that would have wound me up the most!

As I said I’m a LIVE VIRGIN and have absolulty no experience in this type of matter, I very much doubt that I would have shown as much restraint as Surrindar but at the end of the day, what goes on at the table should stay at the table… if a bloke can wind you up then good luck to him!

As I have said I have no experience at this type of thing it’s just my opinion... and I'm ad drunk as a skunk as well hurrrraaa!

Did they show the 83 - 26 raising war between Maxfield and Lee?

[I KNOW IT]

Cant remember Baron srry, but Paul asked what Ithought about his bluff on a missed flush draw? said they never showed it.
Cannot believe they didnt show the KJ incident though. It proves even top quality shows like WPT are missing out on some great plays. Who actually does the editing for these people?

Just watched that prog. (WPT final). It was very disappointing. It portrayed Paul M as a suckout artist and only showed big hands where it was allin and he needed to hit. No showing of how he built his chips up etc. Plus no comment on the "over friendly" plays between Habib and Lee

As for Paris....just goes to show poker and vodka are not a good mix

Agreed. I was with Paul in Vegas straight after he saw the WPT show over there and he said they've mde him look like an amatuer. Similarly friends over here who don't play poker but love watching it have decided to comment on the edited show that Paul is quite a lucky amatuer! Shocking.
