    what's even more amazing is he was only the second biggest douche in this vid. What is up with Layne Flack?

    Scotty = Douche in this.

    I liked him before, even e-dog turned on him.

    From what I have heard Scotty was no longer wearing FTP gear in the WSOP after this.

    scotty=the man=oxymoron

    he's a ridiculous idiot, and this isn't the first time that he's been an abrasive jackass to the rest of the table, this is just the worst that's been seen on tv.

    utterly disgraceful.

    Cut Scotty some slack. he almost ahad to eat his brother FFS.


    No but seriously,he picked a bad time to act like a prick. This could have been a big moment for Scotty, but instead he lost a lot of respect.

    I have never been so disappointed with the ending of a video. Why the hell did Scotty have to win?

    I liked him before, but it's antics like this that force me to have contempt for him.

    Im not sure, but it looked like he say "yaaa!" or something like that when he won.

    two nights in a row I'm watching poker through closed fingers.

    First V Selbst goes on epic monkey tilt and sets the image of women's poker back about 10 years.

    Then scotty ruins what should be been the greatest moment of his career. Hopefully seeing that last night (especially against the chip reese backdrop) will sink in but I doubt it.

    Upside, Lindgren again shows he is super awesome.

    @ will - the DeMichele guy took a bow after winning a couple early pots. Edog sorta mocked him and scotty gave him a talking to and that was that until "COCKTAILS!"

    It takes a man to apologize.

    Can you post a link to the V Selbst monkey tilt?

    I used to think Lindgren was kind of a pointless guy at the tables. Someone who was good at poker and was on TV because he was friends with all the others. But the more I see of him the more I think he's probably the most secretly cool guy in the tv crowd. The denial of Layne Flacks high five was so key.

    What's that about Selbst blowing up? I can't find anything on it.

    and wow, i can't believe how ridiculous scotty is in this video

    also lol at lindgren "we're having a moment here" at 1:56

    He could have been a great champion but Scotty flushed it all down with his behaviour. Makes Phil Hellmuth almost look like an angel. I would have decked him. Lindgren came out looking good and him leaving Flack hanging is soooo awesome.

    watch the whole thing on pokertube before being quick to jump the gun


    this dimichele guy was taking bows for every pot he won, slowrolling seed, etc. then lindgren won a pot off him, and also bowed to mock him, they were probably all getting tired of him. lindgren was getting visibly upset at dimichele, allegedly he told scotyy about it and this infuriated scoty too (towards end of episode you will see this part). then scotty had some beers in (and probably remembered last years main event) got chatty when down to 4 players and then went medieval on dimichele when berman got knocked out, since he did the bow thing again; and lindgren got caught in the crossfire

    this is all episode 9




    im not defending him, since we are all accountable for our actions; i'm just stating how things went down

    In ep 10 he seems really steamed, probably more beer effects

    this is a case of a failed drunken master imo

    Every hand that DeMichelle won, he was celebrating. It was pretty lame. Scotty got pissy after Lindgren said something about it.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    This is the link to the first half of the final table.

    I thought the kid was pretty bad but he kind of straightened out near the end. I think he realized he was being a douche by watching scotty conduct himself like that.

    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.
    fail

    I do believe he feels bad people now know he's an asshole

    Meh, one bad day does not an asshole make.

    Im sure we've all seen what alchohol can do at one point in time to a nice person.

    As long as its not a continual thing i can look past it. It was just such bad timing.

    from that same thread

    Not really bothered (to defend him or anything)...

    But I chose to defend him, because ignorant people like you, who think some two-hour ESPN edit job, at the end of a 5-day (60 hour) bingefest, defines who a person really is...despite all the positive things he has done.

    Truth is, you get your joys bashing on everyone else and living vicariously through others. Get a job. Get a life. Do your own research, form your own opinion based on something besides TV Poker.

    Scotty is a good guy.

    from another thread

    Scotty took several racks of 5 dollar chips after he won the 50k and gave a 20 dollar minimum tip to every dealer in the WSOP "twenty dollars" as a token of his appreciation the day after.

    How many players would of done that. Plus he tipped the dealers at the final table.

    A few years ago,2006 I was at the Legends of Poker when it was down to twn Players. Scotty was one of them and this is the year they had a Charity Event for the family of Paul hanamum who was a WPT camera man and died suddenly leaving a pregenant wife.

    Scotty told the final table to take 50 or 60 thousand off the top prize and donate it to the family and everyone agreed. Pretty special in my book. Scotty had his aces cracked and didn't make the TV table but I have seen more kindness than drunken stupidity from Scotty.

    I believe his wife probably wrote the apology for him. I didn't read it all, it was not seperated and hard to read, but if he was the jerk we saw Tuesday night on TV he would have never attemted to apologize.

    If he actually apologized I'd agree.

    Legit apologies are always short:

    I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'll do better.

    Eh, there's more to this than is really shown on video. It's been told that Lindgren got him drunk on purpose so that he would play worse/act like this/whatever.
