Monte Carlo Millions 2005: Tony G is an "Aus-hole"!

[Toro]

I totally agree with everyones comments about what an assshole this guy is but imo he is great for televised poker. Kind of like pro wrestling. It wouldn't be as interesting if there weren't a villian.

What I really hate about douchebags like Mike M and Tony G is the way they want to shake hands and make up after the thing's over. "Hey, good match bra."

No, [censored] you and the horse you rode in on. You're lucky I don't kick your ass right now, bitch.

I so wish Raymer would have told Mike M to [censored] off after he busted him out of the WSOP.

Nah, That's what makes Raymer even bettah of a person.

I did like Greg's comment saying Mike was going broke no matter what happened.

[Five-Star]

Don't worry, you are correct. Best part of the whole 2004 WSOP.

This has been covered many times, but unfortunately, people keep forgetting.

Raymer did not bust Matusow. He did take a huge chunk (3/4?) of his chips when Matusow called Raymer's all-in with middle pair on a T9x two diamond board. Raymer was holding AJ of diamonds (making him the favorite), hit a diamond, and doubled up. This is when he made the "thanks for busting me, Mike." comment.

Later, Matusow got all-in with someone else with AK vs. their AQ. Q on river, bye-bye Mike.

Please don't tell me I'm wrong, because this topic has been covered before, and I was right then too.

was this the WPT? not sure if canada is on same rotation as US for the show........ i remember this guy incredibly obnoxious and he lost to an east indian guy at the end.. is that the show???

i actually thought he's much more of an act than matusow and probably a better person (mussolini vs. stalin was a better dictator LOL)... painful to say but i'd say these guys are good for poker.

BTW, the aussie made some horrible plays when it got shorthanded.

I gotta admit, I love Tony G. I catch myself chuckling everytime I see an episode of poker with him in it. He is so over the top obnoxious that I find it to be pure comedy. It would get real old if you were at his table, but man it sure is great to watch on TV.

i agree 100% and frankly i think it's more good-spirited than matusow.... it's more bombastic as opposed to cutting like mike.

He's just a socially incompitent fool who happens to play poker, there are socially incompitent fools in every walk of life sadly.

[ESKiMO-SiCKNE5S]

id just like to point out that i really found the 'aus-hole' bit to be quite a witty play on words. nh sir

Looks like Tony G. has a touch of the Downs.
