Most of the games on Tony G Poker are no-limit hold’em games, but shorthanded limit hold’em is popular for small stakes and since that is what I play, that’s good. This site used to have too many satellites and small buy-in tournaments, but now they have much more variety. They have a big $200+$15 buy-in tournament every Sunday that has a guarantee of $150,000 it is better to satellite into it than pay the full buy-in. I like these because I have come in the money in most of the ones I have played and sometimes the overlay is very good.
Tony G poker is with the iPoker company, so players come from other sites on the network, that means there are always players and full tables. Good selection of Holdem at small or medium stakes. Best to play on weekends when it is busier and more games going. Ok selection of tournaments and enough sit n gos that are good if I do not have much time to play. I play blackjack also and it is easy to get to a blackjack game, with the button right there on the poker table.
