It seems like Antanas "Tony G" Gouga has no plans whatsoever to take it easy after the London 2012 Olympics, where he was the manager for the Lithuanian basketballl team, as he already has several new projects in the pipeline and some already up and running. However, the most interesting "project" must be the staking of Daniel "Jungleman12" Cates (live and online).

Tony G is very confident about the good results of his business with Daniel Cates. There's no doubt he is a good player and, perhaps playing without being worried with the amounts involved, having the pressure released by such a staker like Tony G, the game can start running better for him. Is this the type of push up that Daniel Cates was waiting to give a step forward in his carreer?

wasn't jungleman supposed to quit poker since the Girah scandal incident? If i remember correctly he said he was done with poker, but i guess that means what it means.. He's a accomplished player nevertheless none can deny it. Tony G really likes the attention :| funny guy tho!

I guess I really didn't know to much about Tony G other then I guess he doesn't like Phil Hellmuth much. In reading everyones comments it sounds like Tony may have more people dislike him then like him, but these kind of people thrive on that. Thay like making the haters hate him more and the people who like these kind of people like that about them.

Franky i do not see why Daniel would accept to be staked by Tony G considering he has enough bullets to fight for himself...
Especially in this moment when full tilt poker will be up again in a few months and as we all know Daniel has over 1 mil dollars in his full tilt poker account. It's possible that this could be another free publicity attempt from Tony G.
If he was so good why would he ever wanted to be staked and used by someone like Tony? Can't he make his own millions from a 50$ deposit like Tom Dwan ? Or is that also a b******t story like so many? If he had any brain he would solo it'
------------ Oh and by the way, Tony G is a F*king a*****e.

no matter how much money you have, is it not still good to be staked? most huge companies are staked as are many other business arrangements so what is the difference in poker? like he isnt risking his own money, and possibly gets some form of help from tony....all the haters that hate tony g just look at it this way, if he wanted to stake one of you im sure you would all lick his ass for the chance!
i dont really like him that much myself but to me that is his reputation he has built and he thrives on it and it makes him entertaining.
Living on credit. Deja vu for jungleman. If he could turn 5 million into 100 he would have long time ago. He's just degenerate like most of us here. Cheers.
