The website has a high-gloss look and is easy to navigate. Tony G Poker is strictly an online poker site which offers tournament play poker for five types of poker games: Texas Hold’Em, Omaha, Omaha High-Low Split, Seven Card Stud, and Five Card Stud.

For the experienced player the antes can range from 10,15,20 dollar antes all the way up to a $160/$12 raise (a 2 million dollar stage 1 satellite tournament).
Tony G Poker has everyday guaranteed prize pool tournaments with $20,000, $50,000, $100,000 prizes. There are also ‘ring’ style poker games (like those played around a table). Players participate by downloading specific software provided by the online site. The tournaments are played by allocating all players a set amount of chips to play with until they win or lose them all. There are regularly daily tournaments scheduled, around the clock games, and special events held with special buy-ins and rules. Unlike many gambling sites, players on TonyGPoker can play with free chips. They can even play in what is called ‘freeroll’ tournaments where it actually costs nothing to enter but gamers can win actual money.
