Re: Tony G Wants Phil Hellmuth to Retire

Tony G should retire from being an attention whore and go finish off the other half of that baby pig he had for breakfast. Hellmuth may suck at cash games but does anybody still doubt his skill at tournament poker?

Re: Tony G Wants Phil Hellmuth to Retire

Hmmm, Tony G doesn t even make it on the top 300 of the GPI and Phil is ranked 15th. Sounds like to me Phil is doing alright but Tony?

Retiring in your prime is cool.

Interested to see how PH replies, but I seriously doubt it's some inside joke for publicity. There is nothing jovial or playful about this video.

Tony just comes off looking like a massive tool IMO
This. Tony G is a disgrace and embarrasses me as a poker player.

Re: Tony G Wants Phil Hellmuth to Retire

For anyone pulling the tournament line in defence of PH against Tony.

Tony has over 4million in tournament winnings. Tournaments exist out of the WSOP.

Although I do think this trash talk is stupid.

Re: Tony G Wants Phil Hellmuth to Retire

I used to think this was hilarious back when I watched the first series of the Pokerstars Big Game but it's just got so old now it's ridiculous. even more so now that he's doing it away from the table, barely anyone finds it funny anymore
