Tony G

[Royal Flush]

Moves the point is he is not a Gent, no gentleman acts like that at the tables. And it wasnt just once or twice at the WPT, Keith Hawkins detailed a story that occoured in Amsterdamn i believe and then Tony came on here and slagged him off!

Classy.

[I, Zimbra]

I remember being very very very pleased when I saw Surinder win that one...

[byronkincaid]

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.

ill not be screaming back, ill be putting my fist through his face! - even if i wasnt at that table in paris, if i was in the audience in the other room, id need to some how breach security just to get in there to lamp him one.

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

Isn't Surinder good at Karate or some other Martial Art? I wonder if it makes you a better poker player. I think they said on telly that Marcel does it and of course we have the Blonde hard nuts Sark and AdamM, any other poker players we should avoid in a dark alley? Somebody mentioned Colchester Kev is a Ninja.

lolololol  me a hard nut.  I am a complete wimp         Adam is a hard nut.   Flushy must have picked up a few tricks from those 24 boxsets.  Jack Bauer is a tough guy remember.

Poker is all about opinions.

Only when it comes to subterfuge involving pies.

[Nem]

Tony G is an ok fella.

[Exorcism]

I keep thinking of responding but that rare picture of the Broadmoor patients' day out keeps popping up after Royal Flush's posts and I lose my train of thought

On the subject matter, let's remember we are talking about the televised WPT finals where there is no sane behaviour. Phil Laak's ludicrous leaping around behind the dealer was unfunny too. That is WWF Poker, not WPT.

Tony G almost certainly hams it up for these but also knows he can put opponents right out their strides. Matusow and Hellmuth do it (albeit I think that's more a never-left-the-pram condition with them). When it's on US TV, it is the entertainment game, not the Queensbury's Rules. There's a John McEnroe in every sport.

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

Have a scout round tonight and you might just see it again!!

[Sark79]

The strangest televised behaviour was during the poker event Mathew Stevens won.  Alex Pagulayan ( former 9 ball champ ) was crawling around the floor wearing oversized jeans.  " I have a family I have to feed " was the line I remember he said.  When I was watching it, I couldn't help but think he was as strange as me.  After it had finished I phoned my Dad and asked if he had ever visited the Philippines during his Navy years

Its the same torny! I was up until about 4am the night before with Pagaluyan playing in the bar along with a few others. He still owes me 20 quid FFS.

If you ever wanted to sit and be mesmerised by crazy stories, he is the man. Unbelievable life story. I remember one tale where he kept hussling on the pool table and chose the wrong character once. He left the room being shot at.

[RED-DOG]

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

Can you honestly say, hand on heart, that his conduct in Paris was that of a gentleman?

He may be a gentleman when it suits him, but thats not quite the same thing, Is it?

Why was the bad press undeserved?

I'm not having a pop at you Mr Moves, I just want to know why you think like you do

[Sark79]

lol.  He comes across as a nice guy on TV.  Even when he gets beaten, he is smiling.  Unlike, Earl the Pearl Strickland who never smiles.

[Lee]

Love him or hate him, he was deffo good entertainment. (Pagaluyan that is)
