Reviews: Tony G Poker

Tony G has become a force in the world of poker. Players can now take advantage of the wealth of poker knowledge that Tony has by reading up on his blog, and then taking him on in the Bounty Tournaments. The tournaments, promotions and bonuses offered at TonyGPoker are very competitive and present great value to online poker players.

Tony G Poker recently joined the ever popular iPoker network, and traffic has been increasing everyday. At Tony G Poker, you will find limit, pot-limit, and no-limit Hold’em, limit and pot-limit Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, and 5 Card Stud for all stakes. One of the things that sets Tony G Poker apart from the other online rooms is you will definitely be able to find a game for your bankroll.

Tony G Poker knows how to host tournaments as well, and their Sit & Go structure gets a lot of traffic. For as little as $.12 you can play against a table of villains all waiting to give you their chips. Some of the games they offer are; regular, turbo, super turbo, jackpots, winner take all, and WSOP satellites. Of these, the most popular are the regular and turbos around the $20 + $2 buyin, and there are always multiple games running at once. However, don’t worry if you’re a high stakes player because there were many $55, some $109, and a few $215s running as well. Their jackpot tournaments vary from buyin to buyin, but the basic idea is to win 6 in a row to take down the jackpot (rake is much higher.) Also, one other interesting structure was their super turbos, which proberly were designed for people who want to play 500 tournaments in a day! Blinds go up every one minute, making these last for a maximum of 15 minutes.

Although not as popular as cash games or sit & go tournaments, the Multi Table Tournaments are growing every month at Tony G Poker. They now offer various guaranteed prize pools from $500 ($3 + $.3 FO) up to $20,000 ($10 + $1 rebuy) daily. Also, on certain days (usually Friday – Sunday) they offer special $50,000 up to $100,000 guaranteed prize pools, with $55 up to $215 buyins. Most of their smaller tournaments ($1 - $20) pull in about 300-600 players many times throughout the day.

TonyGPoker Points are used to earn bonuses, and also players can also use them to enter some of our tournaments which accept points as buy in. Earning more TonyGPoker Points will also help you attain higher VIP levels, which will entitle players to more generous promotions, bonuses and privilege.

TonyGPoker’s lobby is very well organized and tables can be filtered or sorted by any means. They also have a built in quick search feature which can quickly bring you to any table or tournament rather than searching through yourself. One of the best features in their lobby are the Filters which can be enabled or disabled at anytime. You can filter out certain stakes, seats, players, or even type of table.

The table layout they offer for every limit are 10 and 8 player full ring, 6 max shorthanded, and heads up. They always have many different options and enhancements you can enable to make life easier when multi-tabling. Some of these include; all-in buttons, normal mini or full screen tables, 4 color decks, and warnings. Some of these warnings include popping up a display when making an unusual bet to ensure it isn’t a mis-click – which is very helpful! Built into the tables are one of 10 avatars you can choose from in the options menu. (These can also be turned off.)

Play seemed pretty fast compared to other online poker rooms. There is little animation and players have little time to make their decisions. You can also adjust the game speed in the options menu to suit you. Also, you can enable fast play which will reduce all animations and speed up the games for you.

While playing at Tony G Poker, hand histories are instantly available at the table. Just click on “history” in the chat window to bring up the viewer. You can also have all hands saved onto your desktop, or alternatively have support e-mail them to you.
