Posted by w00zy: He has to win 2 tounaments or make the final 3 on the main event if he wants to win more than 4 milions. I bet he will be drunk and wont make it.
I guess a win of the $50.000 HORSE or the $40.000 aniversery tourney should be good enough to make those 4 million bucks.
Hm, everyone has his own reasons to leave this game. But I think that poker is like a drug, you can say that you will never play, but you'll return soon. That's my own practice, yea I'm just a tiny fish according to Nguyen, but everyone has psicology alike, it may be different in some parts, but most of peaple will make the things as you made in the same situations, so I think that the end is far for him, but he may take some time, to feel his life without poker. Who knows, maybe he likes it )))
A bit contradictory from Scotty. He says he doesn't play for the fame or money anymore... but then says if he doesn't win $4m then he will never play again. Well isn't that playing for the money?
And why has he set his target at $4m, why will he stop playing if he doesn't win this amount? It all seems strange to me.
no baby, scotty won't stop playing poker baby! he just loves the game baby! and even if he doesn't win the 4 mill, he'll definately show up in other tourneys, Baby!

He is a very good player, but he is not one of the top 10 for me! I think he talks to much, the poker is changed and now there are better players than him! Poker is growing and new stars are rising! lol
