Prose from a Poshboy

[Marky147]

I was watching it through the day, but only on my laptop next to the PC so not 100% sure, but I think Toby gave him a bit back later in the day after he took about 3 grand off him in the AQ hand.

Sometimes it's funny watching him go on, but that's just ridiculous and it's a shame Toby seems to be such a nice lad. Would have been amusing if it had been someone that would rare up and put it on him!

I might be way off but I just doubt he would speak to someone like this who "would put it on him"

Which is why it's disgusting.

And by going on about Toby wearing a badge he even knows he can't reply, cant say anything out of line because he is representing a brand, which makes it worse.

There's no excuse for it and no place for it.

The bad part of me wishes he said it to you. That'd cause some seriously mean looks.

I think in Toby's spot I'd just pick up my stack and walk off. Toby doesn't need the hassle and doesn't need the game

I'd also like to think if I was on the table in another seat I'd leave. If the whole table picked their stack up it would show the production company no one person is bigger than the game and its unacceptable.

The problem is everyone is so egotistical in poker and seeks fame and recognition. In no other job would someone be allowed to behave like this and everyone around him just sit there staring into space as if its completely normal

[Marky147]

Possibly right, but he has always gotten out of line down the years when there is an audience. I remember him doing it when Stu Rutter and I were at the same table with him in Vienna years ago.

You're right that he knows Toby can't/won't say a word and has to just listen to him dribbling on. Still, Toby came out of it looking really classy and handled him really well.

[Marky147]

Nothing in the same ballpark as that clip, but just generally being a tool and trying to mug people off.

Can't believe that this is allowed to happen...

Yeah, you could see how awkward/embarrassed everyone was by it and they're still trying to play. With him being the 'name' player, I guess they're just hoping that he'll give it a rest soon enough and don't want to rock the boat by complaining.

Obviously they should just all do what you said and get up, but obviously they don't in case they get themselves blacklisted and aren't invited to anything like this in the future.

Disgraceful, and with a bit of luck he's had his collar felt behind the scenes...

Everyone's too busy dribbling on the table hoping their mum sees them folding 83os on channel 5 at 4am

Isn't that a bit insulting too?

If they are proud of their achievements, (i.e. being on channel 5 at 4am) why belittle them for it?

[Dubai]

Because in order to gain " their achievements" (is this ever an achievement???) they are willing to basically act with no morals and allow bullying like this to happen to fulfil their own desires. I'd assume all of them thought he was way out of line yet none of them said a word, as Marky said probably worried they wouldn't be invited back or thrown off etc


Pretty obvious selfish behaviour IMO

Is this video real?

I mean, why hasn't anyone at the table said anything? Or isn't there a TD there?

I thought another reason for his rant might have been to get Toby to leave.  I dunno what Tobys cash game is like but its probably in Tony G's best interests to have good players like Toby leave the game or make him feel uncomfortable enough to put him off his game.  As tempting as it wouldve been, leaving is great for Tony as there wont be any shortage of players waiting to take Tobys seat.
