Scotty Nguyen says High Stakes Poker is fake? (x-post from t.v.)

Obviously, it's not fake. It's questionable how good the people were as players, but it would be amazing if they were that good at acting. I have never participated in anything where I didn't put up the whole buy in. I have never saved a percentage with anyone, but that kind of thing happens, though I don't know about it happening on HSP.

There was a thread last year where someone quoted Bobby Hoff saying that some of the hands were set up. I asked Bobby and he said he barely knew about the show and had never said anything.
