Scotty Nguyen says High Stakes Poker is fake? (x-post from t.v.)
So, I'm playing a cash game after busting out of one of the Scotty Nguyen Classic tournaments in Tulsa. I made a Hellmuthian type call, but alas was sucked out on ... but that's for a different forum. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Anyhoo, one of the players starts saying how she had a lengthy conversation with Scotty Nguyen and that he [Scotty] informed her that HSP is fake. All money won/lost is left behind. So, basically, it's a 0 risk game. Now, I've seen every episode and if it's fake, then the players deserve Oscars. I mean, Negreanu (last season) and Harman (this season) very obviously going on tilt, Doyle laying down a T-high flush to Gold (why do that if it's fake), Ivey folding KK to that Booth bluff, et. all? I had heard they received appearance fees (not even sure if that's true), but to say it's fake, I'm not sure I can believe...unless they have some sort of behind-the-scene player agreement. She went on to say that he said PAD was legit, but that's not real news. Anybody else heard this? Disclaimer: The woman who told me this is pretty respected in that poker room, but I don't really know her from Moses, so no personal experience with her credibility. |

Also, since the players all do know each other so well on the show, many having running prop bets/owing one another large sums etc., I'm sure there is a fair amount of financial cross-pollination going on, but definitely no outright collusion or team play. imo |

Wait so you heard that some woman heard that Scotty Nguyen says that HSP is fake. I'm convinced.

[/ QUOTE ] No, the woman told me directly while playing at my table and Scotty standing about 30 feet away. Scotty left before I could approach him...and believe you me, I was planning to. And she didn't hear that he said it, Scotty told her directly. I thought that was clear, but maybe not. Maybe 'ol Bear Greenstein can come on here and set the record straight...though I and most others believe it's a legit show. |

Several of the players on HSP do exchange big pieces of each other, which means they are playing 0 risk in pots against each other.
