Gotta love Scotty.

Summary of link:

1. Scotty says that if he doesn't make $4M in the WSOP'09 then he'll quit poker.
2. He's so sure he'll hit his goal that he's willing to bet $1000 to $100 that he'll make it

ya babee

I'd be as happy if he agreed to obey a fashion consultant forever and go through remedial communications training if he lost this bet. Or the idiot can go away. Either would be dreamy.

WIN.

Seriously though he HAD to be wasted when he said/wrote this. Only way you can make 4mil at WSOP is to finish top 2 in the ME or win 3 bracelets(either high buyin or big fields)

Just to be clear, the millions of people we want in the game as recreational players are unlikely to view Scotty as entertaining. I was one of those millions, completely disconnected from any poker subculture. My reaction when I saw him the first time was "wow, poker is sleazy and laughable."

Poker can be entertaining without court jesters. Ciao ciao Scotty.
