Why Scotty?

Once the blinds get that big it's mostly about luck and not poker skill.

Skill still plays a big factor in EV. The difference is that some skills, such as understanding stack sizes and the gap concept, become more important and others, such as the ability to read people, become less important.

I realize that, but once the blinds are that high it's 80% about catching cards.
The average M at WPT final tables over the years is much lower than what we'll have tomorrow.

Watch his exit interview on Pokernews. Scotty tells it like it is. He donked off his stack. He looks absolutely devastated because he knows he blew up. Hard pill to swallow to go out the way he did.

I went to bed before he started his big rush, which I'm kind of glad about now, because I would've been all the more devastated when I woke up and found that he was eliminated.

Same here. Heartbreaker.

I recall something similar in 05 when Ivey donked off a bunch of his chips with 20 or so left, trying to bully the table.

Is it donking off chips when you try and bully the table and the table catches cards or won't be bullied? If the players hadn't made these calls then we'd be singing a different tune about how great Scotty played.

When I read the postings as he busted out- my first reaction was fist pounding into table yelling [censored]!

I was so hoping for him to reach the final table.

Scotty won two huge pots to get the chips. He was playing the same high risk style when he lost them back. When the cards are with you, you're a genius. When the cards go against you, you're a donk.
