I know a lot of you will say it's poker; it's a bluff, but even I thought this went a little far. Very bad etiquette IMO.

For those too lazy to watch, Tony G shoves saying he hasn't seen his card and Phil H believes him and so calls with AJ.

It is entertaining though

lol for sure, haven't laughed so hard in ages. Watched it back a second time though, it's cringe worthy.

I did feel bad for phil on this, however he took tony g on his word....fail

RVladimiro · Aug 19, 2011

Entertaining yeah but that's bloody awful attitude from Tony G.

MidyMat · Aug 20, 2011

anytime Phil blows up it puts a smile on my face......

Vanessa Rousso shuts Tony G down - YouTube

haha sick when tony filled up I was like "he runs so good" then realised he's screwed

Tony G should be dragged out to the street and shot. Just my humble opinion.

ythelongface · Aug 21, 2011

Tony went a little overboard after the hand was over, but before that, I dont really see a problem.... Even a quasi amateur player knows to watch everyone else at the table and see if they looked at their cards, if they are giving away any tells, etc.,... no excuse for Phil to fall for that... none.... Still, it was damn funny!

That line is the Chit "That's Heart & Commitment to the Game"...Tony Your the Greatest

taaron · Aug 21, 2011

U wanna razz a guy fine, but that went way over the line, no class or decorum. He actually walk-chases Helmuth off to the press area. . . not even 12 yr old little leaguers are that devoid of class.

naruto_miu · Aug 21, 2011

LOL, I totally forgot that line "Call the Floor man if you think My Hand Might be Dead"....Tony G your the Best....I have to use these lines in a Home game 1 time....

Everyone hates Phil, and likes the "Schadenfreude".

But Tony was WAY out of line here.

You all really think he's out of Line? Under selling his hand, Lying to get it all in preflop against a Short stack that's tilted? He didn't use no cuss words, he used another form of Psychological War Fare...Personally I believe this incident will remain with hellmuth for the rest of his life...If every time he see's the G man, he'll Recall the Incident and thus leaving himself Vunerable

fletchdad · Aug 21, 2011

No, I mean his attitude after the hand was over. Just no reason for it other than to be an a-hole. His behavior in the hand was questionable - He could have said something like "IDK, Phil, DID I look??" or whatever. IMO etiquette is something to be strived for, but, hey, its poker. OK, I can deal with that. But the after the hand was over action,.... Just not necessary...

And WTF was Phil thinking running it 3 times????

lol, i know rite; it is common knowledge that they both have their moments; but G-man cmon, why the need to assert overwhelming "phil u should just quit [poker]."

kokose · Aug 21, 2011

that was pretty entertaining. Obviously theres arguments for both sides here. Tony's attitude was questionable during the hand & then he tried to gloat by tellin him to leave. I think it would be fair to question his character. At the same time this is like Karma for Phil even though he's mellowed out some.

watchtowel · Aug 22, 2011

I don't think it was as bad on calling the clock on Robl last season twice. Afterwards he apologized and said it was a joke. He's just having fun

CheckraiseLife · Aug 22, 2011

I just read a good article on Tony G in poker player magazine, he says the tv is his circus, hes good entertainment I suppose, he makes the bulk of his money outside of poker and has even said he doesnt actually play as much as he used to. so I guess he finds the poker etiquette, to get in the way of good tv, and in some ways his new buisness ventures. In some ways he's right. I guess people gotta get it though there heads now he's more of a buisness man than a poker player now, so its his hobby and hes having fun just PLAYING poker not grinding.

taaron · Aug 22, 2011

well, it was definitely entertaining so i guess mission accomplished. . . that is lol funny;

I got to agree with you, it was very bad etiquette, also it was bad of him to keep taking the p**s throughout the hand, and after the hand. He obviously has no respect for the game and other players.

After seeing the first video this was a joy to watch. lol

danprince10 · Aug 22, 2011

The hand against Rousso was damn hilarious. I hate Tony G, the hand against hellmuth is just one of the many reasons why.

Tony teaching donk Russians how to play. Tony g is my my new favorite player after seeing this video,
