Scotty's HORSE Antics

Aug 24, 2008 1:39 am Report Abuse

For those who missed it, Scotty Nguyen lost a lot of respect from Erick Lindgren and others with his antics in the HORSE final table. Personally, I thought some of the things he did were kind of funny when he wasn't directly attacking DeMichele, such as showing his cards to the crowd (even Lindgren laughed at that). But the way he yelled at DeMichele and yelled about "Cocktails!!!! Where are my cocktails!!!!" was WAY over the line. My thought is where in the world was the WSOP official during all this. Mike Matusow got a 6 minute penalty in the main event for tell someone to shut the f*ck up, but the "Prince of Poker" can mistreat someone at the Final Table of HORSE for hours and nothing is done???? He should have been shown the door. What does everyone else think?

Can we get OFF of this topic please?

It has been BEATEN TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many more blogs are y'all gonna write about this?????

ButtonDog Aug 24, 2008 1:57 am
The Tournament Director should have been shown the door to along with all those drunk pro's on the sidelines that were encouraging Scotty.

This was all made for television ratings and to boost the television audience for the Main Event Final Table that will be shown on Veterans Day Weekend when people are away from their tv's.

Wow, what a nice welcome to a brand new Railbird
Scotty's antics were pretty ridiculous, something could have been done about it.
Good luck at the tables

I think who cares.. we were not there, so we need to mind our own....cough cough cough.......

riss,

First off Welcome to the nest. It is a great place to hang out, make friends, and learn about something we all love....POKER.

Dont take the initial response from papa to hard, as Phil said there have been a number of blogs on this topic. I know how Papa feels; I too feel that this issue has been built up by the media, and due to that we have all created even more drama around the issue.

good luck on the felts and see you on the tables.

dont mind papa new birdie...his bark is worse than his bite...welcome to the site and yes scotty might of been a bit out of line....gl
cfuerch52 Aug 24, 2008 2:46 am
i agree with riss, he was way out of line, and someone should have done something about it. way too much money on the line not to have

Welcome and thanks for trying to participate early in your RB career. I can assure you Papa did not pick up on the fact that your are new to the site. When I first read the header I thought the same thing. Under different circumstances he would be the 1st to give you a big and gracious welcome!

Welcome. You will get negative comments from time to time. Don't take them personally, and as was said earlier, I'm sure the first comment was unintentional. Here's a link also to Scotty's apoplogy for his antics. Good luck at the tables!

Riss,

I do apologize. I didn't look to see that this is your first blog. And I certainly don't want you to get the impression that you are not welcome here. You most certainly are.

As for the 'Scotty' issue, there have been so many blogs on this that it has consumed the front page for the past week. Enough is enough. Whether we agree or disagree, condone or ridicule what happened, there is NOTHING we can do about it. So why is all of this time being spent on something we can't change? Let's do something productive.....like write ***** blogs or poker quizzes maybe.

Again, I apologize if I came off a bit harsh in my first comment. Welcome to the nest.

what scotty did that night has set online poker back....as many of you i am sure know the USA is in a fight everyday with any and all poker sites to ban us US players....and with what scott did makes us as a community look like Degans and in no way shape or form is gonna help our cause to get us legal
hferg Aug 24, 2008 5:27 pm

If I might put my 2 cents in....

First off, I didn't see what Scotty did, and I'm not 100% certain on the rules of the table as far as badmouthing the other players. I DO know that using the F-word is an automatic penalty, and that that's why Matusow got his. As long as Scotty was keeping his language clean and nobody was complaining, I don't think there's anything he was doing that didn't fall under "Gamesmanship" That said, from what I've heard about it, it was VERY uncalled for!

sellittologan Aug 24, 2008 6:16 pm
for the lack of a better term every dealer in the world "kisses scotty's ass" and ESPN and for sure Norman Chad want to make Scotty out to be the best, which of course makes me want to vomit......he should be ashamed of what he did, and IMO been sent to the rail for 15 minutes per outburst
