I am in back in NZ with Lee Nelson. I am staying at his retreat, Split Apple Retreat, and working on my health. The new thing I’ve started in my life is Yoga which has been difficult but is also very rewarding. On most days I am able to walk over 10 miles – that means I have more energy to go for bike rides but do not worry friends, I will send you on them when you play against me.
In general, things are really quiet for me right now, it’s a time of peace and rejuvenating the spirit. I have a far reaching goal of optimal health for The G. On a shorter scale, I want to get really fit and strong by January.
I have been invited to High Stakes Poker but it’s such a long way to go I am uncertain as of right now. I’m also considering the trip to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, but again, the distance from Melbourne is like 27 hours to get there and those flights take a lot out of you. I feel like I’ve made it in poker so the fun part is the key for me, (that should give all of you mean spirited people that don’t share my view of poker something to jump on). Flying all those hours and returning isn’t part of the fun I enjoy. When I fly to Las Vegas, I like to stay a few weeks and enjoy the place which gives me recuperation time before the flight back.
Right now I am completely focused on playing at the Party Poker Sunday Bike Ride – I will be playing there today. Do come and enjoy the game and your bike ride home, I will do my best to send you out.

I have been watching you on the big game….you are a phenomenal player,and have my total respect….I am a yogi,and am presently moving to India to do a meditation,and yoga retreat in the himalayas…I wish you all the best in your life,and yoga….and remember….they are not 2…they(life and yoga) are ONE!
You show your true colors and clearly you have no humility. You are rude, arrogant, and stand offish. You represent New Zealand in a pathetic manner and likely have bad karma coming to you.
Hey Tony
you would be great on High stakes poker, Fly out there win all the money,
peace man
Holy hannah, that place is amazing! I’d never want to leave. If they need an onsite nurse, let me know, I’ll pack my bags
Seriously, what a great place to meditate and focus. All the best 
Are you married….Mr.G……. lol…reply please
Tony G,
It is good to see someone so completely love what they do. It is one of my poker fantasies to see you on high stakes poker. The action you give, along with your table chatter ensures it would be the best season ever. If you don’t go, it was great watching you on the Big Game.
Tony you’re a star ! I can never get enough laughs watching you trash talk the other professionals !
God Bless !
Just watched you on the big game…. and you most be the biggest nerd i have ever seen. and you think you are so damned cool…why is that? you look like rat. and youre just.. such a bad person, oh my god. i was hoping phil would hit you.
Great blog! Too bad you couldn’t keep Isildur1 on a leash
At the moment the spot is taken, he has the “nurse” who’s taking care of him
you are awesome !..gives spice to our game.never mind ,Phil was way out of line and it took your kinda guts to say so.look forward to see more play. Good luck
Tony, I can’t believe all the haters and naysayers who have nothing better to do but come out of the woodwork to bash you on your own website. They are a pitiful group who obviously don’t understand you. Don’t change Tony, because you are my favourite player to watch, bar none. By the way, I’ve only read a few of your postings here, but it’s great that you keep this forum to talk to your fans (and haters I guess, too).
Tony G.
You are a champion, and all the best in poker for the new year.
All the best biggame week were the ones you were in. Everytime you’re on TV, I just know im going to laugh out loud of an hour ! Gl in life
