Scotty Nguyen - 50k Horse

Watched him play the WSOP 50k Horse drunk. Unreal. Naughty boy! :-)

Yes, his behaviour was totally out of line. He already apologized for it, but this will be some really bad PR for him.

During the 50k HORSE I was rooting against him and targetguy was rooting for him. I kept telling him not to and that I didn't like him. No everyone knows why.

You see I have a pet peeve.

A couple of years ago I was in Vegas and was walking out the door at the Rio as he was coming in. Being polite I held the door open for him and he just walked on through thinking he's the greatest thing in the world. No thank you, no head nod, no nothing.

Very few things in life piss me off as much as people with no manners.

When someone opens a door for you or helps you, SAY THANK YOU!

I'm also very surprised that some poker pros have defended him.

Damn, he was probably drunk again as normally he should have said "thanks baby" for holding that door open ...

Makes you wonder what it's like to be his "baby" lol.

Hope it was just the booze. We all make arses of ourselves after a few. I loved the way the young lad, after apologising for grandstanding, then reverted to telling him he had no respect for him after he continued being a cock. Made Scotty look like a right twat.

I was more in disbelief that he got to the final table then started drinking. .... I mean, come on! - drinking and poker don't mix, we all know. The final table of the 50K horse, and getting drunk.... shows a total lack of control.

Very odd indeed.

i was only rooting for him cuz he was one of my fantasy picks. just cuz i want someone to win doesn mean i like the person. this kind of stuff is what poker is about. i mean maybe in old west days but you wouldnt use words you would use bullets.

Being an asshole isnt part of poker, you can put the others on tilt without acting like that
