Tony G

Prob old news but after a bitova tilt last night thought I'd watch some poker instead and caught the final table featuring El B and finally heads up between Surinder S and Tony.

I generally like characters at a table - colour and all that. But I thought he was just a tad beyond the pale. Would be interesting to know if anyone here knows him personally and thinks he's a good egg. Mind you good egg or not still think he borders on the unwatchable and definitely unlikeable.

Didn't the hit stage show 'Muppetry of the Penis' originate in Australia ?

he used to be an Administrator on this board, and kind of a Partner with Tony and Dave, he has (Apparently) done good things for blondepoker.com

....Altho i didnt notice, however Tikay mentioned that he did get us a lot of money, which helped with live updated and the progression if this community

I still think what happened in Paris was disgusting, and cant see past it.

Suppose I'd equate it to a charge against him of 'bringing the game into disrepute'.

Generally speaking I really enjoy the company of poker players - met so many genuine, decent people in the game.

I think I'd take the view that, sadly, behaviour like that which goes unpunished or unrestrained makes the whole poker community the poorer for it.

He is a gentleman who gets undeserved bad press from surprising quarters.  Don't believe everything you see on TV or read in forums.

You guys can believe what you wish, it doesn't matter what I say, you've watched TV, you've got your opinion.

Is he your boss or are you in business with him mr moves?

I have met tony and as you say he was a real nice guy but if he starts screaming insults at me at the poker table then I'm screaming back.

He has been in the past.

Surinder coped with it well, I thought.  Great TV.

He's not appealing to watch at all IMO, much like Koresh on LNP.

Now, I wonder why you don't like Koresh......

As for Tony G, I would have to have more proof that he is a "nice guy" than just helping blonde out.

I am an old fashioned dweeb who likes good manners.  From what I have seen from Tony G, he doesn't display manners.  I never see other top players like DN, Howard Lederer or Ivey behaving like that.  If I wanted to model myself on a top player, it would be a calm and respectful person at the table.  As for being rude to other players,  It isn't British is it ( said in an old Brigadier's voice  ).  I don't think many Brits like that kind of thing.  Perhaps in Amerca this is more accepted.
