Scotty poker embarrassment

    I just watched the 50 k horse on pokertube, and nearly puked, Scotty Ngeyen making an absolute plum of him self and proceeding to lose any fans he ever had. What do you think, have you lost any respect you had for him or is he just a guy who made a huge mistake (that being ordering the first cold one) by getting drunk ?

    I'm not sure having a few beers while playing was such a big mistake for him.
    he won
    . However he did act a little bit like a tool. Eric tried to use this to his advantage but the young lad seemed a little taken a back with Scotty's behaviuor.
    Beer + Scotty = HORSE bracelet

    What did he do?

    Just had one too many and started losing it with DeMichele and tried to collude with Lindgren to get rid of DeMichele. Also swore a few times and kept calling for the cocktail waitress.ESPN editing didn't do him many favours though. Has put up an apology online somewhere but not much forgiveness in it..

    from the Cardplayer forums:


    I would like to apologize to all my fans for the disappointment I have caused in the H.O.R.S.E. Event. For that I would like to express my sincerest apology.

    I would like to ask for understanding of what really took place. Keep in mind this was a five day event, with an almost fourteen hour final table that was reduced to two hours of air time including all the commercial breaks. With that being said, as you can imagine, more took place than what made the final cut for t.v. Last year’s Main Event I made the mistake of letting someone get under my skin, of which overtook my mental focus of the game, and cost me my tournament along with a lot of disappointment amongst my fans and peers. Since that time, it has haunted me and even now with the mistake that I made. As a professional, you always critique yourself to make yourself better, and in doing so you have to focus on the mistakes you make, in order to improve. This year, I needed redemption of my own 2007 Main Event demons to prove to myself that no one would get to me again.

    This tournament was too important for me, the trophy, the fifth bracelet, and history, my head was zoned in for this event, and for that time, I forgot the fans were watching me. I said things I shouldn’t have said that have disappointed you, and I apologize for my actions. All my life, there have been many many tournaments, I put all the fans first, tried to play bad hands and win to give more excitement, and I would blow my tournament, however I have never regretted it, because without all you fans there would never be a Scotty Nguyen, and I appreciate all of you every which way. This tournament I played the players game. They wanted to play a drinking game, and they couldn’t win, they say they can’t even beat a drunk, how can you beat a drunk if I’m not drunk. They can’t beat me in a drinking game, now they play the talking game to try to get under my skin like in 2007, and I gave it right back to them and got underneath their skin, and they couldn’t win. When it came down to playing a poker game, the best will win. Because they can’t beat me in a drinking game, a talking game and then we played poker, of which they can’t beat me, and I am the one who brought the trophy home. This event I had my mind set, I wouldn’t let anything interfere between me and the bracelet and the Chip Reese trophy, and I proved that to the whole world. I can beat them at any game they want to play. And all I have to say, I hope all you fans understand what I’m trying to say. And watch the tape again. I was not the one to start anything, not even drinking or talking, they wanted to start it with me, and they got beat by me fair and square on all levels they wanted to play. All I would ever be sorry, is how the fans feel about me, I would never be sorry to beat those players. If they can’t accept defeat, then stay home, crawl under their loved ones arms, don’t bad mouth because you got beat by the best poker player. Another thing, I always bring joy and excitement to the poker game every time I’m on tv, and all of you know, when Scotty Nguyen is on tv, your eyes are glued on the screen. Why? Because I make it fun so you guys don’t switch the channel. All these years that is all you’ve seen of me, and that is the real me. That proves to you, how great and nice I am, I am the real deal. One cannot be on tv all these years with the same persona if it wasn’t the real deal. Even during this final table, I still took time for all the fans with a smile on my face. You have not even heard of one fan who was there that came up to me and could say that I was rude to them or out of line with them in any way. This was an issue at the table, and one I didn’t take out on the fans even during that time. This was business. How many players do you know that would do that to the fans except one, the Prince of Poker, Scotty Nguyen and once again I apologize to all of you. No excuses for my behavior in that $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. final table. And I have explained to you why and how that happened. Bottom line, I only ask for you to please understand and remember that I, Scotty Nguyen, the Prince of Poker is still a human being, just like all of you. I too have good times, bad times, sad times and angry times, just like everyone else in this world, and I hope you can understand that. I do promise to all the fans that no matter what, from now, I would never disappoint you again any which way. I forgot about the fans, and only focused on me. I am sorry.

    Thank you,

    Scotty Nguyen

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,755 ✭✭✭tylerdurden94


    I think he acted like a total cock in bits as he said its a fourteen hour table edited down to two hours. I think all the good will out weigh the negative everybody has an off day but his was spectacular.

    Video Evidence: I think the title the person gave it was pretty funny

    Why would hating one person make you racist????

    People are way too quick to throw that word out and it borders on libel to call someone that without any proof to back it up.:mad:

    I think an apology is called for.

    I blame the americans.

    Their idea of manners is fcuked up. You get a time penelty for cursing.
    Yet Hevad Khan and the other **** can jump about sream in some guys face if they ping a 3 outer. Arse backwards, Scotty is no-where near the most out of line or worst manners player at the WSOP

    Well sorry for being slow but i fail to see how calling someone a racist is funny esp with all the pc shi te thats going on these days.

    If it was ment in jest - then fine its just a word thats thrown around alot these days usually by people who dont understand what it means or implies and in a lot of cases by people use it to get out of a situation that they have created.

    I like Di Michelle, I mean, he saw how is reactions were causing problems and decided to tone it down, meanwhile that stupid Cnut Scotty gets away with everything.

    It is a public forum. If you'd ever read anything here before you'd realise how informal and joking we tend to be with the threads in the main forum.

    Just smile and have a laugh mate. Stop taking things so seriously!

    I lost all respect for him when he slowrolled Barry Greenstein on the final table in this tourney. Greenstein was shocked. Disgusting!

    No one's really taking the piss....The 'racist' jibe was clearly a joke and if stuff like that offends you internet message boards aren't the place for you. Its nothing to do with him being a newb. If any of us took offence to that we'd be berated, probably moreso than a new poster.

    eh if you think I am talking about the racist thing then think again. "internet message boards" not for me? Shouldn't have asked boards to start the poker forum then.

    Discussion of Scotty seems to have finished many posts ago. Nice work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 279 ✭✭derek2222_ie


    I dont know if this has been covered but I watched the final table of the HORSE last night and I must say that I was surprised at Scotty's behaviour at the final table.

    During the final table he:

    - He openly admitted to soft playing in order to keep Eric Lingdren in
    - Showed his cards to the audience
    - Taking personal digs and cursing a lot
    - Getting totally p*&^ed at the staff for not bringing him more beers.
    - I am even saw him slowroll Barry Greenstein when he knocked him out

    He criticised DeMichele for his behaviour and then went on the act ten times as bad. I dont know about anybody else but I was shocked that this behaviour went unpunished.

    Did anyone see it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,187 ✭✭✭Flushdraw


    Yeah its been covered in 2 threads already. Scandalous behaviour

    His apology was a joke too.
