Reflecting on Monte Carlo Millions & Life
What a tournament this was for me I am very happy with how I played and with my result. The very big highlight was that I knocked out Mike The Mouth and I gave him more MOUTH then ever, plus I gave him a dance when I knocked him out (hope this comes out ok on tv as I am not muchof a dancer, although I did want to be a ballerina but my legs were too harry)
Had some really massive pressure pots in this event with people like Phil Helmuth in the room talking about the best lay down he ever made also seeing Howard Leaderer around made me very thursty for his blood, can not wait to get Howard on my table again hey maybe the next time I fix him up he will shake my hand. My adrenalin was pumping I was after any one that looked like they wanted to win this thing. The bad boy Tony G was back in Monaco after being pretty nice for most of the year I kind of lost control here (its good to lose control when you are having fun and not taking anything like drugs or alchohol to induce it). A very big congartulations to Phil Ivery who won it and took down the $1 million, he is a living legend already 10 time better poker player the the Brat. DoI regret it heck no no way at all, many forums are going mad how bad Iam but I loved every minute in Monaco. I never abuse dealers or swearat the player. Also to get a rub down after i knock you out you mustbe a very good player that I will come up with in the future. I do notdo anything to insult people for no reason, there are wa**** postingon forums about me that have not ever seen me live. I guess these guyscan only sit at home and look for people to criticize. This is a veryhard business to be in and I don’t want to be in there grinding awayevery day, most of the players I come up against are disadvantagedindividuals they are mainly addicted gamblers with very low morals. Isee that others have said that I have to behave on TV since I need tobe an example for young people, I guess that all films need to be anexample as well. Poker on TV is a show to me I love it I love to win Idon’t care what anyone thinks of me.
Outside poker I am very different, I would like to think that I have agood hart compassion and high morals. Life is interesting to me as Ihave very many interests and anything I do I enjoy its not about themoney. I have been very lucky to be bale to do that and its thanks topoker. Not everyone can say that as only very few can do very well outof poker. At the end of the day its control and passion for the game& most important knowing how to manage your money that will enable youto be somebody via poker.

So what place did you come in?
November 26th, 2005 at 2:42 pm
joint 7th & 8th and I picked up $53,000

Tony,
I love ur game…really was wishing that you would come in 1st, but 7th/8th is something to be proud of. So you don’t know Chud huh? I figured you knew him because I thought he made the final table…however, I was wrong, he was really just waiting tables. Good luck in your next tourney.
P.S. What is your name on Pokerstars?

What tourneys you have coming up?
November 29th, 2005 at 10:10 am
Hey Tony,
Don’t let anyone put you down. The verbal barrage you give players is the highlight of any poker show. It throws them off their game, and it’s perfect.
Me and my friends still use “it’s a FLUSH!” (From the WPT Paris event, season 1) everytime we hit a big one!
Rock on Tony G!

I have the Bad Boys WPT coming up very soon. As well as the WPT 15k buy in Bellagio, December 12.
Then I am off to Australia for the millions and some heads up challanges.

Keep giving it to all the jealous guys who have taken the moral highground.
Good luck in all the biggies coming up.

Nice one Tony !
Are you going to come to Moscow anytime in the future. The Korona holds the Russian Championships in October every year.
Cheers.

Tony, I am a big fan.
Keep up the good work, you are different and extremely entertaining to watch.
There are many good players but none with a personality.
Dont change.

Tony: You are awesome on TV and I would love to see you live. Just watched (for third time) your 2nd place finish in WPT against Surinder. You had every player on total meltdown, only bad luck defeated you. If you come to mid usa I would love to watch you live. Closest place would probably be Tunica (I live in St. Louis, but I don’t think there is anything for you here). If you go to Tunica I hope you post it on your site beforhand. Best wishes, and don’t change a thing.

Just caught the re-run of Monte Carlo. I was one of the first critics after the Paris WPT a long while ago and I have to rescind that criticism. I have since played many people that try to dish it out as you. I think you are absolutely right on with the head games. It makes for much more entertaining poker. I get tired of stone faces just staring at each other pushing chips.
F- the critics! Play your game. I hope to sit at one of your tables on the Circuit or WPT.
