Be a dangerous player that’s going to win a lot of money in a day….
http://video.pokernews.com/v/468252dfc03c4.flv
Say you’re a punter which most people are… and you just want to take a swing and see if you can turn $500 or so into a few thousand and cash out. What’s the best way to do it?
I see a lot of players playing tight and being conservative. That’s the wrong way to go you’ve got to play very aggressive and you’ve got to be prepared to put your money in, that’s the best way to go. When you are the low stack and you don’t have any rebuys, which a lot of people are in that situation. I’ve been there before myself. The best way is to be aggressive, either lose your money quickly or double up and go for it, and make a lot of money that day. But there is not much value in being conservative if that’s your last money. You’re playing under your bankroll probably anyway so don’t be careful with your money in this situation. Be a dangerous player that’s going to win a lot of money on the day.
So that’s what I’m going to try to do today, turned 600 into a few thousand by being aggressive. Obviously we don’t want to get busted and this’ll be a good lesson. And one of the reasons not to do this.
We’re waiting for our big blind so let’s see what happens on the first hand.
Post-big blind.
Sometimes it’s better to post behind the button but since I play all the shorthanded, six handed games, it’s not much value for me to do that. I always wait for my blind to come into the game. So we’ve got to be aggressive, 7-4, in this situation I can’t call, there’s no value, I’d like to raise but in my strategy I wouldn’t be calling with that hand.
Here we go A-K. on the small blind, this could be very interesting. The button raises, there’s a good chance that he is on a steal, so I’m going to make a little reraise here. Let’s see what he thinks about. Let’s make it $108. There’s a huge chance he’s stealing so we’re pretty much committed to this pot. If he’s got a small pair he might decide to play this pot. So now he’s played it
It’s become very difficult for me to play now. This is a very hard situation, when you have re-raised and he has only called, you’ve got a lot of problems. I’m going to check it. I really don’t know where I am now. What did he call me with? Did he have a big hand or did he have a bad hand like Q-J or something and decided to call me. So this is a situation we’re in… we’re really stuck here. I made a big reraise, he called, he’s behind, so I’ve got to respect it, I have to lay this hand down unfortunately. I really hate this play, there’s a good chance we had the best hand but when he called he outplayed me.
*more on the video*

Hi Tony,
I must say this is the absolute worst poker advice I have ever heard. It is very bad bankroll management and just bad poker play on your behalf. At one point I believed that you were a decent player but you have proven me wrong today.
Thanks,

Omg, whats wrong with these comments ??
This guy is so awful. I think like every word that comes out of his mouth is wrong.
A date with an eight HAHAH, man your an idiot.
Lets hope this gets mass distributed!
Thanks alot Tony. These blogs really help my game’
Omg, whats wrong with these comments ??
Ill advice people to play the TONY G BOUNTY tourney for a free $100
This is sick, you basically did everything wrong.
You sure this isnt fake ??

Tony G, with one player all in and another to act after him, on the river, holding 44 with two overs on board: "I’m going to bet a little bit just to protect the hand."
Tony G goes all in for $223.90
nh.
YES! Dangerous and aggressive. I learned a lot. Like I should make massive preflop reraises against what might be steals and then give the hand away when I miss. Or by instafolding KQo utg.
Keep it up!!!
man tony ur a fish, I bet the regs at this limit luv having u in the game
rofl lol excellent leveling there Tony please post more videos
LOL.
hahahah.
if youre serieus i feel kinda sorry for you
LOL
thanks tony
Are you serious?
"I need a good hand quickly to turn things around…you can never think like that though, people think ‘I need a good hand, I need a good hand’"
Uh.. ok, nice insight.
The consensus of 2p2 is that you are a horrible card player. Good luck berating everyone you know and keeping the cholesterol up.
No seriously.
wow ur a complete donk i hope this was a joke
tony,
thank you for taking the time to educate the masses on the real way to play poker–which is aggressive and smart as you showed in this video.
obviously people are scared that a potential "fish" will visit this site, watch your video and start learning, hence all the negative and obnoxious comments to detract exposure. i say ignore them, tony, and keep putting out quality stuff. keep at it tony!
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen… please please please keep making these!
Awesome video Tony! You need to keep this kind of stuff on the down low though. This is good stuff and letting people see this is bad for business!
LOL at this video.
Hes such a donk.
ha, maybe the worst instructional video ever. Leave this stuff to the ‘winning’ players.
But cheers for the entertainment, i love watching people make huge mistakes and blame ‘bad luck’.
Very good video
another take at the game
This video was produced April, 1.

Wow tony… you suck.. could barely hang with the boys at $3/6. You’re going to get owned by Brian.
I don’t think most people get what Tony is trying to do. He is not saying that he is playing optimum poker. As he said at the start, if you want to take a small amount and turn it into a few thousand, then this is the way to go to do it fast. You need to not be scared of going busto.
He says its bad bankroll management.
LOL Tony they’re not respecting any of your raises
Tony G did zero 3-bets. Why?
Tony has the big haeaat
HAS to be a level “he bet into 3 players and must have flopped 2 pair or something like Q7 (on KQ7)”
well played
