"I am also really excited about the Premier League in February - it is the best event in poker in my eyes. After finishing runner-up and third in the last two years, the title has to be mine! I just hope my rivals have the heart and commitment to the game to stop me!"
A PartyGaming spokesman said: "We’re delighted to welcome Tony to Team Party. Tony is undoubtedly one of poker’s biggest characters in the game – a personal deal for him made huge sense."

How does this work with Tony G poker? Seems an odd way of promoting his poker room... odd.#9

#8 Quote from the Tony G Poker site:"Tonygpoker.com is pleased to announce its merger with major online poker room Noble Poker."
Seems with all so many things to do - pokernews.com sending russians to Russia, kissing party poker asses - he couldn't have pulled out his own poker room.

You should rely him, because he is calm and smart man. I'm from Lithuania so I know how we look like, we are very generous when no one touches us. But if someone hurts us our palms start sweating and we punch back more then we get.We are born to save ourselves and we don't let noone to hurt us from inside. Thanks. Best wishes, no offence.

TonyG knows how to make money with poker while not playing poker. That's why he doesn't care about his image at the table.But hmmm... strange that nobody's seen him at the High Stakes Poker show tables.
