Prince of Poker Appologizes

Everyone knows that when put in to intense, high pressure, high stakes situations the best of people is not often what you get. The world of online casinos and gambling in general has been known to get pretty ugly. After hours and hours of playing poker the so-called “Prince of Poker” Scotty Nguyen made a fool of himself at a competition then had to publicly apologize.

Online casinos often have a lot of negative press surrounding them but apparently so do some diva poker players. The World Series of Poker and the online casino realms go hand in hand when it comes to tantrums… it’s just that the online players are at their homes when they do have a fit. So Scotty Nguyen got worked up after a tough fourteen hour final table at the World Series of Poker finals during the $50,000 HORSE game. He apparently had a few choice words that I cannot repeat that came out of his mouth. All directed towards his fellow opponents, Michael DeMichele and Erik Lindgren.

Nguyen later sent out a lengthy apology for his actions stating that he is only human and everyone has had "good, bad, sad and angry times". True, however not all of us go on television and play a poker tournament to throw a fit of temper. This poker tournament did last over five days with very long hours at the table. I have an idea, why doesn’t the “Prince” take himself over to a computer and play poker at a microgaming online casino until he can learn to play in a civil manner.
