Tony Guoga - The Smack Talking Loud Mouth
 Tony G
(Real Name: Antanas Guoga) was born on December 17, 1973 in
Kaunas, Lithuania. He got the name Tony G when he started
playing poker in casinos at 21. When he joined a waiting
list for any poker game, they would put “TONYG” on the
waiting board.
Tony G started running into problems at an early age. Since
you had to be 21 to enter the casinos in Las Vegas, Tony
would often have to resort to fake ID’s. He also found that
Vegas was a lot harder than he thought and ended up losing
hundreds of thousands of dollars that he had accumulated.
Tony returned to Europe and started hitting the cash games
circuit. He gradually improved his game, and by 2001,
averaged around $7500 per month playing cash games.
He started entering major tournaments and got one of the
worst beats in poker tournament history at the European WSOP.
He went all-in with pocket Q’s getting called by a player
with Q-5. Two fives ended up falling on fourth and fifth
street giving him a second place finish.
Tony is great at getting under his opponents skin. He is
known for heckling players getting them to make awful calls.
If you check our Poker Videos section, you will see several
hilarious Poker Videos of Tony G. He has received a reputation as
a “Very Aggressive player” according to The Hendon Mob.
Watch for Tony G on several
Poker TV shows including the
upcoming PPL (currently in draft stage). Over at the WPT
Poker website he has earned the reputation “Smack Talker”.
Tony G is definitely one of the Bad Boy’s of Poker.
In 2006, he launched his own poker site
Tony G Poker. After several months of the site
being up and running, the United States Government
introduced the UIGEA which essentially made it impossible
for American players to deposit to online poker sites, which
dropped traffic levels to at Tony G Poker to but a few
players a day.
