Negreanu and Tony G Gang up on Robl

Not sure if anyones seen this or not but it's pretty sick to me that these guys can act like this at a table, especially Negreanu

YouTube - Tony G and Daniel Negreanu Cross the Line team up against Andrew Robl

jesus

yeah I seen this a couple weeks ago. robl shouldn't be such a nit lol

meh i dont think they were teaming up on purpose. Just tony's style...a bit impatient

best part of the video is amanda

Agreed

And robl deserves the stick, he comes on TV to fold all but premium hands. Not saying i could do better, but Tony and Daniel have a point.

I didn't see any "team" work during the hand. If the guy was really taking a lot of time each hand he played, then other players have a right to call a clock on him.

ya i liked amanda too lol but they do have a point

wat u guys think of his robl's busto to robusto series?

True, but its outbursts like that that make Tony G so disliked... including by me, lol.

the fact of the matter is tony g was out of line


it doesnt matter if robl is the biggest nit in the history of life, call the clock and shut up. do not berate a man on public television.

tony is always out of line, my least fav poker celeb of all time, and i really hate a few of them lol

Tony G acted terribly. Terribly immature of him to stand up like he did.

If you have been watching this series for a while, you'd know that G has done this before with Helmuth taking 15 mins to make a decision. Admitted all TG had to do was call the clock, but poker is more of a mind game than a card game, and he played off a prominent online players lack of live game experience and back chat to screw him up. TG btw, is the only player in these games to buy in for the max, $500,000.

trivial


there are unspoken rules to this game, yo

One of which is to speak ur mind. The sad part was Robl looked like he was gonna cry, ala the big guy with the baseball cap @ the WSOP.

the sad part is that this happened. respect is the name of the game. robl did nothing wrong.

my favorite player and daniel D, he is a very great player

Course he did, he folded the winning hand.

are you serious?

DN's range of raises and calls in these TV games are ridiculous, he bet that R didn't improve after the flop, the look at his cards after the ten hit the river killed Robl.

If it helps anybody, Daniel called Robl after the game and apologized to him and Tony G is just an asshole , let Robl play however he wants to, i personally find it just as interesting to watch Robl play a nit style compared to Dwan/Negreanu super aggro style

you are better informed then we. TG can be an arse at times, but he plays mind games more than his cards. Maybe the ace from space is really the prick from mars.

daniel posted about the incident in his blog, thats how i know haha

Out of line by Tony G. Call clock and that's it. Who cares if Robl is a super nit, thats how he plays. It's his money, his decision. It looked like Robl was going to call (Im 100% sure he would have) but given Tony's outburst, he probably wasn't thinking clearly and had second thoughts.

Daniel was outline for rubbing in the bluff and then thanking Tony for 'helping' him get Robl to fold.

From Robl's Blog.

I do like a lot of your posts, but one of the best part of them is your Avatar.......

Patty needs a more masculine avatar/name, sheesh I know hes a guy and i still think hes a girl sometimes... :P

These live pros hate the successful online players, because the online players really beat the game and have tons of knowledge - the live jokers are just entertainers. Okay, i was a fan of Daniel Negreanu for a long time, but know i have to overthink it again...

It was very rude of the big guy..poor Robl. It will just make his skin thicker..If he can't handle this crap then he's not ready for poker..IMO Thnx for sharing

Anyone who has seen tony g play at all before should not be surprised, though cussing in reference to a player is out of line imo. His mind games are one of the biggest parts of his game. I don't think Daniel did anything wrong, he got a little excited after finally being able to pull off a bluff and showed his emotions.

Good for Robl to show self discipline. If that was me, I don't think I could handle myself as maturely as Andrew. Tony G needs to realize that HE is the true nit.

tony g knows how to pick easy targets is all

some players he would never try that crazy stuff with

i would take his chips and run him out the building

Did you watch the show? (not just the clip).

I thought it was ridiculous. Does TonyG do that if Robl is 220+lbs? I doubt it. Guy's an idiot.... as unfortunately 'alot' of poker players are imo. (maybe 'idiot' isn't the appropriate word to describe them... immature perhaps, egotistical,....)

lol i want a name change!!!

Thanks for the warning, (note to self, don't try and get a date, even if drunk).

But seriously Pat why the name and the Avatar?
What is it all about?

I saw the show and as soon as Corkins (who was on Robl's seat before) busted Tony G asked "Who's next?", someone answered Robl is the replacement and he says "I'm gonna put pressure on that guy!" and boy he did, there was a lot more stuff than what's shown in this clip.

Personally, I don't mind Tony G's mind games, partly because I think they're part of the game, and partly (or mostly) because it's pretty damn entertaining. In this hand, however, I thought it was too much. Tony's not even in the hand and that's where I draw the line. Didn't like Daniels behavior after the hand either. Plus, the floorman seems like Tony's puppet, couldn't he reject that clock call? Robl wasn't being that slow at all...
