I do not remember what hapenned in season 1 of the WPT. What did he say/do that makes people hate him so much?

What should I expect in tonight's episode?

Imagine a combination of players like Matusow, Arieh, and Hellmuth, but with an accent.

I think Tony G is a nice guy who was edited by the WPT to look like a twat.

Edited? Did they put those words in his mouth?

From what I've read about tonight's show, it's more of the same from the first season.

From season 1, Tony G seems to be lack self-esteem, and to make up for that berates players and tries to put people on tilt with nagging comments. His mouth doesn't zip up when he's on a roll [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

In season 1, they showed a clip where Howard Lederer -- arguably a gentleman of pokre - refused to shake Tony G's hand after getting busted out, and looked throughly disgusted with Tony G.

But he is a fun character to watch on TV no doubt.

With good reason. Search the r.g.p. archives for Lederer's recap of the incident.
