Tony G has moved away from poker and is concentrating more on the businesses he has bought into and is growing with his team. He is an owner of chipmeup.com, neverwinpoker.com and pokernews. These are massive sites that put him in the forefront of poker online.
Tony is a good example of a player who did well and has now tried to protect his interests moving forward. He understood that the poker boom will not necessarily last forever, recent legislation suggests the game may be heading underground again. He does not play poker much these days but certainly has taken advantage of the opportunities his play gave him.
This is a good interview and surprisingly, Tony G has become a bit of an example for how a successful poker player can become a good business person. Poker players probably do make great business people. They can manage risk and are not scared to move all-in and take a chance at a big pay-off, Tony’s ventures have certainly paid off and he continues to build a poker-based business portfolio with his team that looks to set him up as a major force off the poker table as well as on it.
