Tony G response

I knowtony from a while back and couldnt agree more ,he is not a bad lad and would go out of his way to help anybody.  I often thought u could put this pantomime down to the players experience and in many cases u can sorry inexperience.You must not forget that the money involved with most of these younger players, not only have they never made as much in one hit or realised what in real terms it can buy but they become intoxicated for want of a better word by it .Whilst tony is not in that category, the younger players ,hitting in the big ones have not learnt how to handle it hence they appear for a year and disappear just as quick.  So we can assume some are on a high and flying,but what about the others.   Human naturebeing what it is means some people are not very pleasant these can be handled you know what you see is what you get. So we are left with the rest,  2 different types  maybe more type 1 friendly rivalry not much wrong with 2 friends taking the piss out of each other generaly they can be found in the bar together long after everybody else is tucked up in bed the best of mates .What of the others.Now these are the problem,a problem if they are allowed to get to you looking for help from officials unless you are worldfamous you are wasting your breath.  For these people to succeed they need a reaction from u theiropponent without that reaction they have failed.So when the diatribe has ended,what happens, they sit down,funny thing is the restof the table are all waiting with sharpened knives and everybody is dying to stick it in .     That takes care of the ones who have control of themselves.So to the ones who fly of the handle. I think this is something to do with Focus and being in the Zone,it doesnt happen in ring games well rarely.I do know i get a little bit tetchy and sharp with the boss when Iam trying to break a 4 day losing run after 22 years she knows whats going down.  In a tournament the pressure is different obviously ! mistake and your out so it is greater,how we handlethis we heve to look at the most successfull players. Heres an interesting one EDDIE SCHARF 2 WSOP bracelets job pilot for big german airline.Pressure none till it conks out in mid air then the doggy doo hits the fan.His assimilation of pressure Iwould think is almostendless,I have played a bit with him only once did i see him get upset, there was something going on between 2 other players in the game              I am getting round to the thought  thatin this case its about the handling of pressure some people can very well  and some  cannot,also the amount of pressure but then we all knew that.           Players make their own pressure to a certain extent and when you are under extreme you find out what kind of person you are and you dont like what you see afterwards. Thats life

Tony i admire you as a player and a personality, I think a lot of the 'clique' here have gone a bit too far with their comments against you. A 'Disgrace' to the forum you certinly are not.

On the other hand, what you did is maybe a bit carried away. Like i said im a big fan of yours, the first internet poker name i used 4 years ago was 'TonyG'!! But please dont get caught up in this...calling camel a wanker isnt going to get you far is it?

Everyone should chill the !£%* out and stop making a mountain out of a molehole. Rubdowns happen in EVERY sport. Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson are just the same. ITS THEIR TACTICS. Its EXACTLY the same principle in Poker. Trying to get that edge on your opponents.

Tony you have acted irrisponsibly but i feel the top dogs gere just havent been fair to you. Thats my opinion.

Ben

And this dude?

I have to say that if everyone was the same at the poker table wouldn't poker be a boring, mundane place to be.

As in life there are characters.Tony is a character but I do think that alot of what he says is tongue in cheek, and people simply take it to serious.

Im reasonably new to Blonde but love it.Lets all get along and chill out.

I can take oppinions on everything apart from maths Tikay. Poker can be broken down into a number of very complex mathmatical formulas and although I do look like a numpty maths is one of my absolute strogest points. When someone questions my maths I always get a little tilty I must admit. I know my figures and although I am not Gus Hansen I have tried to base a lot of my plays on his. Many people consider him to be just a lucky so and so but if you ever get chance to read some of his thoughts on the pure maths side of the game you will realise how intelligent a bloke he is. Maths is the one way you can get me to tilt (just ask Kev what I was like at wombles when chubbs questioned my maths).

Ha Ha I miss this guys rants........this smiley was invented for him

I thought the thread was quite funny until I read ariston talking about how AQ is utter trash when facing a raise. I'm now pretty tilted, it's an Ace and a QUEEN, yo.
