What separates Tony's antics from the other "bad boys" or whatever is that it's an obvious act. He rarely makes it personal, and when he does, it so obvious that he's not serious that anybody with the social skills of a grade schooler can tell. What these clips didn't show is that the instant someone was out, he shook these guys' hand and told them it was nothing personal. He has marketed himself very well, and despite what any of you may think, he's actually a really nice guy.

The only thing from those clips that bothered me was the way the dealers laid out the flop cards one at at time...WTF?

hes total prick who threw his chips at a dealers face. Cmon stop cutting this guy slack, he's like the lowest of the low. Howard Lederer was so upset at him he wouldn't shake his hand in Paris, and that wasn't during TV broadcasts or anything.

The dealer had probably played with him before and shoved on his limp. I hear that's cause for similar behavior.

He didn't throw the chips, he hit the table and some chips flew at the dealer. This has been confirmed by the floor. Plus he tipped her $1K, also confirmed. You give me that kinda money R. Kelly can fart in my dinner TONIGHT!

As far as the trash talk goes, if people can't handle it, they should stay home and play on the interweb.

I tend to believe this account of events as he'd likely be banned/arrested if he actually threw chips as the rumor I heard states.
Plus he bought me beer at the rail on Sunday at the PLO event [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

TstoneMBD was sitting at the table when it happened. I'll take his word over the floors. Unless of course he just made the story up, or he just simply didn't see the action which lead chips to fly at the dealer.

Oh yeah also...

YOU SHOULDN'T ACT LIKE THAT EITHER WAY, DUH?!?

Howard needs to get over himself and persuade his skanky angle-shooting sister to take a shower and have the tramp stamp removed before worrying about what other players are doing.
