I know opinion maybe divided about his abilities as a poker pro but one thing I find interesting about him is that unlike most players his outbursts come when he wins not when he loses.

Does anyone know any other players like this? Ones that Trash talk when the win a pot but are quiet when they lose one?

Tony G gets.

Very entertaining to watch and a Style of his own ..........

About his out bursts when he wins, I think it adds to his flavor .......
Hellmuth does it but he is not quiet when he looses.
Many players Sulk when they loose and are outrageous when they win.

There was a guy in my home game that would always clap and yell "Yeah Baby" whenever he'd win.

I can understand being excited about winning, but so often the win comes through doing something lucky than good that it makes the winner look just as bad as if they get loud when losing.

I think one aspect of why he does that is the "kick them when they are down" mentality. It can be a tilt inducing weapon if used on the right opponent. Not sure I would do it but i guess it has it's pluses if used on certain opponents. It's usually just business with Tony G though, from what I've heard he is a good guy away from the table.

I dont know how to spell his name,but he is the guy with the shark.
brenes or something,he seems to get a little loud after he wins.
kinda annoying to watch play imo.

Humberto Brenes, is the guy your thinking of.

Another person is Gavin Smith really is like that when he wins and always talks to players like when they are thinking telling them dont be a idiot and stuff joking around.

Hevad Kahn was like that too but then of course they made the Hevad Kahn rule and so now he has to be quiet.

good call on Humberto Brenes, probably the only guy more annoying to watch than tony g, but tony g still takes down the disgusting sloppy whale trophy.
