WSOP H.O.R.S.E. event....discuss

I have to admit, I have always considered Scotty to be a total gentleman at the card tables, yet I was amazed at the disregard, disrespect and callousness displayed to the non-professional at the table. I cannot believe he was not given a misconduct penalty of at least 10 mins. Eric did not root for Scotty after he went out, in fact he whispered to the other player to take him out and as I recall didn't even shake Scottys hand. Guess their's a big difference between decorum and a dik at the table?

Oh, the whole thing about scotty saying he doesn't deserve it....Eh, that was the least of the bad behavior I think......Demichele asked the question..made the statement whatever.....I do believe he did leave it open for an answer tho. There are many many pros who believe that someone as young as Demichelle don't DESERVE a bracelet, even thought Demichelle has shown that he is a world class poker player.

As far as the penalties for swearing, those penalties have been removed, you can say all the four letter words you like now....

There are other things that Scotty did that should be punished....soft playing, showing cards....Soft play really bothers me...I hate it in the micro limits that I play I.E. person who has a female avatar and a feminine name often get people to dump chips when she's near the bubble...and I REALLY think it's uncalled for when there is something as signifigant as a world title is on the line.

Well...

Scotty was always one of my favorite players and it was painful for me to watch him act like an ass. BUT - acting like an ass, although annoying and insulting can actually be quite helpful to a player. Hey, truth be told, I've played the drunk ass bitch at the table before and got people tilted so much they paid me off every hand.

What bothered me about his behavior was the way he softplayed Eric in hopes of knocking Michael out. If that's not out and out cheating it's pretty damned close.
