More Drunken Scotty Nguyen Antics

The 2008 WSOP H.O.R.S.E. Championship showed the height of what can happen when Scotty Nguyen gets drunk.  Nguyen’s legendary drunken antics in this event had him yelling about getting a cocktail, arguing with Erick Lindgren because he wasn’t playing on “Team Scotty”, and giving the worst of it all to Michael Demichele who was his heads-up opponent in the end.

But Nguyen has been fast at work over the last year trying to upstage this drunken rant, and a new video I saw may come close (though I don’t think it quite does the job).  In this video that surfaced just before the 2009 WSOP, Nguyen is obviously cooked and talking about how he will quit poker if he doesn’t make at least $4 million.  Nguyen repeatedly says that “not too many people say this” but he WILL quit if he doesn’t pull in at least $4 million.

If you happen to check Nguyen’s results in the WSOP you’ll see that he’s not too close to that $4 million goal and it has some seriously wondering if he’ll quit.  However, I don’t think there’s a chance of him quitting as this was just another drunken rant by him, and I don’t think that Nguyen even knew what he was saying when he was on video (at the end he kisses the lens).

Nguyen did offer to play people for $1,000 and they only have to put up $100 (a deal I would have gladly taken if I were around then).   In the end, I think we’re in for many more years of Scotty Nguyen, and I also think that we’ll see more antics like this in the future.
