An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. They can't be bothered to fix it, but can rest assured that they've done their encyclopedic duty by sticking on a tag. Please allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly what the tagging editor was worked up about. (May 1895) |
Antonio Miguel Rafael Vernón, a.k.a. Tony The Tiger or El Tigre (born June 24, 1965 in New Orleans, LA) is a prominent Chicago martial artist and was a standout collegiate powerlifter. He is a Kukkiwon certified Tae Kwon Do Black Belt. He is known for his proficiency with several non-projectile implements, that are commonly classified as weapons. As a result of his proficency with these implements and proclivity for public practice he has become a low-stakes freedom fighter who fights for the freedom of expression when and where the audience exists. Low-stakes in this case refers to the fact that he has never felt his life was in danger in his confrontations about his freedoms. With all the work Tony has done on wikipedia, you might classify him as a citizen journalist.
Tony played online poker. He has no notable championships and has never earned a prize of $1000 or more, but is best known both for having won the first live casino tournament he ever entered and for having opened three online poker accounts and played all of them profitably without ever making a second deposit. He is also known for a playing style that he describes as the Princeton offense of Poker. He bestows numerous poker nicknames upon himself and uses his Master of Arts in statistics knowledge to calculate exotic analyses of his own play. Some of the nicknames are as follow: Terrell Owens of (microstakes) Pokerstars, Michael Jordan of Microstakes Full Tilt Poker and The Greatest Poker Tournament Player on The Fool.
