Tony G has become the latest high-profile poker pro to attack players who post on internet forums.

Just days after Vanessa Rousso called posters on Two Plus Two 'geeks', the 36-year-old Australian claimed the popular forum was full of 'nerds'.

It came as the spat between Tony G, Daniel Negreanu and Andrew Robl - who clashed on a recent episode of the Pokerstars Big Game - intensified further.

The trio fell out after Tony G called time on Robl when he was just 30 seconds into a big hand against Kid Poker, which you can watch in full above.

Negreanu went on to win the controversial hand with a six high bluff.

That infuriated Robl who defended Tony G but slammed the Canadian - who has since criticised him on Two Plus Two- in a blog describing Negreanu as 'laughably outclassed' against even average internet players.

Responding to the ongoing row, Tony G said: "I would like to thank Andrew Robl for the kind words.

"Thanks Daniel Negreanu for posting as well and just bending over for all the 2+2 nerds."

He then denied he was a cruel bully - despite his TV antics - and went on to claim he admire internet players.

The Lithuanian born ace, who is a distant relative of Vlad the Impaler, added: "One thing I want to make very clear is that I never, never ever bullied anyone at school.

"TV poker is a game I have the passion to play - I try my best I am not trained and sometimes I make mistakes and go over the top.

"That is why I am the Tony G – no one else is ready to cross the line but I do it all the time.

"I don’t hate internet wizz kids, in fact I admire them and wish I could be one of them.

"Deep down I am just a kid (or now an old man) from the street but I made it in poker and in life so if a douche bag like me can make it it should give hope to everyone.

The bottom line is I have got the heart and commitment to the game and I love to play poker on TV and make a show."

A clearly wounded Robl had earlier claimed that both Tony G and Negreanu have the style of losing players and would struggle to make a living online.
