Yesterday Tony G updated his blog with a video to show all "non-believers" that Tony Resort is a real place. According to Tony G, his own little paradise is guarded by his German Shepherd Nordas, and Ralph Perry (Russian poker pro) is not welcome.
"I am at WPT Copenhagen now. I have left Tony Resort for the winter - my German Shepherd Nordas has gone to University. I sometimes get messages that p[...] Read more » Tony G: "Tony Resort is real"

yeah tony always has something in his sleeve. actually as a person he is not very liked here back in lithuania, most of business people think his business ethic is kinda poor...but hey i don't judge him, he can do whatever he wants with his money, and the fact that he has made a fortune is a positive thing overall

Well at least the artwork on Tony G's walls is in good taste. The outside of the place look's very nice also with a rather secluded area I might add. Of course this is all for promo purposes, but it's a unique approach to what one generally see's.

yeah he went to australia as a child, so no real surprises to see his fluent english. and yeah tony invested a lot of cash & built a real nice place to spend some quality time in the country. have to agree that "hedonism" in jamaica is nicer, but only and only because of the "naked" concept...

Big poker fortunes aren't just spent on the tables, they also make nice investments. I bet Tony G is really proud of turning a dream in reality by doing this resort. And there also must exist many other projects we don't even get to know where pros like Tony invest their profits very well spent too!

Tony G gives me a good laugh pretty much everytime i see him on the tables, just today was watching some poker on YT, and it was quite damn dead in here, everyone takin it too seriously, then Tony G came in and the table was alive once again , Ps : i wasn't really a fan of Tony G, since he sometimes is way to rude on some players (Oh Hello Phil Hellmuth..) but i guess its part of his image on the table. So ima just accept it, and the place looks cool, maybe once when im a pro poker player i'll be even able to visit it but sorry im just dreaming a lil right there )
