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.

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 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.

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 ***** from mars.

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.
