Tony...google the following:

"how to wipe a hard drive"

A ton of sites will come up that give you easy, step by step instructions on how to completely erase your hard drive. This is the only way to go other than to physically destroy the hard drive. Just make sure you back up any documents and files that you want to keep before you do this.

cant people still get this info even if i clean the hard drive if they are computer whizzes? or could i safely take it in to recycle like britni says?

Don't bother with the extended geek squad warranty's. As far as getting rid of data, for most people reformatting does the trick. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313348 There are commercial programs that will reformat multiple times but unless someone is digging or specifically targeting you it is a waste. The hammer idea is a good solution, and may be FUN.

... i'm actually surprised he hasn't asked for someone to finance the laptop for him... i firmly believe some would gladly buy it

I think that guy was Yappy ...

Actually I think technically Yappy's money was used to stake TBC for a VBJ session.

What I am describing erases everything, including the operating system. There might be some degenerate somewhere that could gather scraps of info, but I really don't think you have anything to worry about since it would be way too expensive and time consuming. If you are really that worried, find someone who can take the hard drive out of the computer, and take a hammer to it. That will take care of the problem.

not the way i always stood up for the dealers who were white, were poor, and who needed to work.

Did it ever occur to you that I might not be white? Did it ever occur to you that I may be in any number of groups that you have posted ignorant hate drivel about. If I was a gay muslim mexican immigrant dating a black man ....... would you still stand up for me?

and how can u say the other day im not good to the waitress? i almost always gave her a tip even when it wasnt $1 but i always made sure it was more than 50c or not under at least. now that the rolls so high its almost always $1 unless i have no $1 chips at all. and often the dealers will tell u i give $2 or more if some of them just posted in this blog. ask them urself in person.

It's not an issue of tipping. Its an issue of your attitude. You continually speak disrespectfully of cocktail waitresses. At one point even saying that panhandlers were more deserving of money than waitresses. And quite honestly when you do tip them you seem to think that this alone shows what a swell guy you are. I never said you didn't tip. You are the one who talks about not tipping.

even Chris at the nuggets seen me give $5 before to dealers at bills.

Again i never said you didn't tip. To be honest, I don't recall whether you tipped me or not back when i dealt to you. I'm sure the dealers you tip appreciate the tips. I know there are other things they might also appreciate ....... I'm sure they appreciate it when you behave in an appropriate manner at a poker table. But unfortunately you don't always do so.

As I have said in the past, I recall occasions where you ran off players from a table and caused a game to break. We don't appreciate that.

i think its very rude to complain about tips while in the box in front of customers, or badmouth people when playing in the game

.

Well i agree. But if a dealer does that it reflects poorly on him. Why do you blast all dealers because of something one dealer did? Go complain to his manager about his conduct. Don't take it out on every other dealer.


But there is one thing i have always stood up for about .... That is Britini. While your relationship with Britini is not the sort of relationship I would want to be involved .... that is a highly personal matter. If you like your relationship with Britini thats between you too.

I also think its time you stopped pretending that you make a living playing poker. You don't. You eke out an existence gambling, panhandling, and collecting SSI (yes I know that at the moment you aren't collecting SSI). that is not the same thing as making a living playing poker.

I know a lot of poker players. I know a lot of poker players who claim to make a living playing poker. I know very few who actually do, and even fewer who do it in low limit and low buy-in No Limit Games.

And every time I read about some kid coming out here to try to play professionally taking everything he owns and heading out to vegas, I get a sick feeling ..... And i partially blame you and your fanboys who all egg you on about how "well your doing" when in reality you have nothing. Its not just you .... and to be honest if you knocked off all the bigoted comments (well actually its too late...because I know your thinking them) i wouldn't hate you nearly as much as I hate your "fanboys".

[SeattleIrish]

LMFAO!!!!Yappy and the OD setting up a Kodak moment for their new site...only to have TBC outplay YD to the tune of a grandaddy and leave them with egg on their face?? Gloss it over as much as you want boys, but its obvious what you were up to, and I think it is funy as hell that you got sucked into this game. Just because you think of yourself as a natural athelete, doesn't mean you can pick up a new sport and turn into a professional overnight.

I am not surprised at the outcome and am confident that if they want to keep playing Tony at NL Omaha/8, the result will be the same until they are able to figure out the nuances of the strategy. But fellas, let me assure you; you aren't figuring it out by playing a freeze out SNG for $1,000 at a time. The game is sick to begin with. I am amazed its even allowed by the Vegas Gaming Commission...lol. I've actually played a lot of it because when Tony was online so much a few months ago, and he changed games from NL to NL Omaha/8, the vultures were forced to change right along with him. And now I'm hooked...

I'm going to go watch a couple of those videos again now...classic slapstick comedy. Talk a bunch of trash, throw the pie at your target; but he ducks and it hits your buddy instead. Classic!!

++++ 1000

I know this has been said by others, but I also found a lot of joy when Tony won that HU game; I don't know Yappy Dave, other than reading his posts here (I also did my doctoral work at Clemson, so he and I do share a love of the Tigers), but he certainly came off poorly in that video. Bullying Tony is simply too easy; Tony doesn't pick up on social cues at all. The fact that the brag-fest was commemorated on video, and all of the taunts captured forever, makes it that much sweeter. Of course, YD's thread on VPN has all manner of explanations/excuses as to why TBC won.

I'm just glad Tony pulled that one off. Well played, Tony.

All Bullsh**ing aside...Toni doesnt come across as a bad dude. Seems like a decent guy.

yeah a real decent guy unless you are black, Hispanic, homosexual, a bathroom attendant, a non-native english speaker, a cocktail waitress, or someone who just happens to be walking by when he starts throwing stuff.


How anyone could read this crap from Tony and say he seems like a decent guy is just mind boggling.

Tony is not a nice guy .... and he doesn't even seem like a nice guy.

Haha! Damn Psand you take this blog really seriously huh? Take it easy brah. What I meant was that the one time I talked to him, he seemed harmless and wasnt disrespectful. I know that dude is a worthless guy and a racist and leach. I really could care less. I realize that he is stupid in his ways. Its to the point where you just gotta laugh at how ignorant this guy is. I was simply happy that this Yappy character who comes across as the most arrogant dbag ever, got whooped on by a guy that puts duct tape on his only suitcase and can tell you how many pairs of pants he owns. The only mindboggling thing here is how you continue to take this guy so seriously. I'm pretty sure most of the readers here view TBC as "entertainment." You just gotta laugh at someone that even in this day and age is an outright racist and thinks there is nothing wrong with it. It cracks me up. I will admit that at first I was a little pissed at the whole racism thing and disrespecting waitresses and what not, but after a while I just realized the ideocracy of Toni's thoughts and starting looking at his life like it was a comedy skit. I mean, really, you don't laugh at the thought of a guy tipping a waitress 2 quarters? If SNL did a skit of toni's whole not-flushing incident, it would be hilarious. By the way, just to clear things up, I am not a white guy and realize that racism should be taken more seriously, but when its an absolute numbskull that is incapable of hurting anyone or influencing anyone, it really makes me giggle at the thought of how rediculous it is.

[WECpoker]

What is it called when a guy is just sooooo worried that someone is gonna dive in a dumpster, get his personal information, and use it to loot his accounts, YET logs on and plays every single day on a laptop that is ALREADY compromised in some way. Someone may already have your personal information, may already have your poker accounts and passwords, may have your banking information. You are so worried about this "Stealing of your old computer" but you never were worried enough about your own laptop to buy/download and use anti-virus software?

[angmarkram]

I can't stop laughing at the TBC haters new fresh word they keep using...TBC and his MINIONS

[Meatonabun]

Go to Post Office. Send the laptop home or to mom's home, whatever, just ship it cheapest and slowest way possible. When you get home, find away to destroy it or put it in the back of a closet.

...also u really shouldnt give me such a hard time, not the way i always stood up for the dealers who were white, were poor, and who needed to work. the only thing that always bothered me is how theyd hire these dealers off the street who were from overseas, maybe not even here legally, who spoke little english and hired them instead simply cause some guys like asian women....

You will never change. Do you really think casinos are going to hire illegal workers to work as dealers and face the public everyday? You are an idiot. Full of hate and bigotry. Why do I even bother tried to help you? You do know I am asian, and was born overseas.

[jbizz54]

Tony if you weren't the laziest piece of crap alive, you'd probably google "format a hard drive" and do that once you got your new computer. Would save the inevitable "where do i find molten lava to drop my computer into so that people don't steal the $18 not in my sock" post.

And by the way, did you give up your apartment in Kansas?

My dad Clint0721 posts on here and was telling me that he has developed a soft spot for tony. It all happened after he watched the video on that other site. I watched it and I had similar feelings. Then I come on here and read this mindless dribble Tony writes. Tony you are a total piece of Sh*t and I hope nothing but bad things befall you. I am tired of your racism I am tired of your convoluted approach to life, you Forest Gump your way through life and act like you are some kind of poker icon or Internet star. What you are is a skinny, smelly , dried up Turd!!!!!! I wish, no I pray you end up broken, hungry and the only person that shows you any compassion is an illegal female minority. I know why your so damn paranoid. You have sh=t on so many people you cant help but worry that someone is going to give you a taste of karma.. How does it feel to know that you are such a loser that the only woman that will even talk to your nasty ass is some con artist you only chat with on the Internet. I read on here that you are offering money to help you get a girl friend... Loser!!!! Get used to being alone, you racist dung pile! Hurry up and go play those VBJ machines you cant go broke and homeless fast enough to satisfy me. Go, you motel robing, SSI drawing, never going to have a damn thing, delusional ,ass face. Go play and give it all away I beg you please do it now dont prolong the inevitable.

[WECpoker]

you Forest Gump your way through life

Most of you do not know that Tony was in fact the basis for the character Forest Gump. They paid him a good sum, and he got to meet Tom Hanks who spent months with him to develop his character. TBC sold a framed autographed copy of Tom Hanks picture as Forest Gump given to him for a poker buy-in.

[zippyboy]

do u know how many people commit murders for less than $100?

jj, how much do you charge?

Don't bother with the extended geek squad warranty's.

Reformatting doesn't really get rid of the data. The best thing to do is to reformat, then use a disk wipe program. There are lots of freeware available that will do the trick.

Tony, what model of laptopt do you have currently ?

I have repaired and rebuilt more pc's than i can remember and should be able to point you in the right direction to remove the hard drive.

i dont think its wrong i hate it when plants close up here in the USA and jobs are sent overseas--or that i am fed up with illegal immigration like much of arizona is and how its taking away peoples job opportunities. maybe not so much in poker forums that are full of liberals, but lots of people agree. and theres tons of people who dont support interacial relationships. they used to be illegal in almost every state, (it wasnt a view held by very few--but by most people at one time,) its just this is a new and strange world we are living in today im not used to where everything seems upside down. and i trust only people like Glenn Beck to explain it to me.

how would u feel if u was a black woman--and no black guy wanted u and wouldnt accept u because of the color of ur skin? and they all felt like a white woman was a better quality woman instead. essentially its the truth, way over 50% of black males do feel like black women are inferior and are always with a white woman instead. go survey urself if u dont believe me. i would like to hear a black guy post as to why he doesnt feel black women are as good as white women.

not happy at all--was winning over $300 in the game at osheas, and then gave back all but $130 and left the game. went over to the VP machine, lost close to $200 and then a ton at the VBJ and am now stuck over $350

[psand]

Is that actually your argument .... your racism is justified by the past history of racism? Hey it used to be popular to be a racist so that makes it all good. When your bankroll gets big enough (ha!) maybe you'll try to buy a slave ..... that used to be popular worldover too....

Undoubtedly then you believe the Sun revolves around the earth because in the past most people believed that.

And how did you begin to be the authority on how all black men think about women? You tell me to do a survey. Why did you? or did you just see a black guy with a white woman and conclude that all black men want is to take the white women away from you? that the black man is going to come and take the white woman is a classic of racial hatred.

And you are upset about immigrants coming and taking american jobs? Why? You haven't even looked for a job in 15 years (because of Obama ..... go back and look you actually claimed that that was the reason). How can you complain about someone else wanting a job that you don't even want? Why are you the one who gets to decide which jobs belong to which people?
