Scotty Nguyen, biggest tosser in poker?85

Scotty Nguyen belligernt again (Doyle Brunson Classic)

from Cardplayer.com:

Scotty Nguyen (pictured below left) got in on the act, as well. Nguyen was being his usual boisterous self when he criticized a dealer over a small mistake. Dan O’Brien tried to calm the situation down, and Nguyen took offense to him chiming in with a defense of the dealer. Shortly after that, Nguyen decided to play a hand completely blind against O’Brien and ended up giving the young pro more than 100,000 in chips before finally taking a peek and mucking on the river.

Scotty Nguyen was clearly upset with O’Brien, but the barrage of F-bombs were unfortunately unloaded on the quiet and polite man sitting to his right. The action started with the unknown player, who raised to 24,000 in the cutoff. Nguyen reraised to roughly 50,000 on the button, and the cutoff then reraised to 150,000. Nguyen called, and the flop came KHeart 7Spade 3Heart.

The cutoff moved all in, and Nguyen called all in with 7Heart 4Heart for a pair and a flush draw. His opponent showed pocket aces, but they were cracked when the turn and river came 5Club and 7Club, giving Nguyen the winning hand with trips. Nguyen immediately slammed the felt when the river fell and began screaming obscenities toward the cutoff and the rest of the table, explaining that he was tired of people messing with him. The unknown player, clearly devastated by the hand and left with just a few big blinds, could only sit quietly as Nguyen scooped the huge pot. Despite immediately receiving a 10-minute penalty, Nguyen took his time stacking the million-plus pot, carefully maneuvering each chip around his beer before taking his punishment.

Williamhill Deposit Bonus82

I don’t normaly make posts like this as it seems to spammy etc but I recently signed up for William Hill using their £30 no deposit bonus which was automaticlly put in my account, the wagering requirements were just 20x which for a no deposit bonus is small, however you can only wager 20% of that on blackjack (which is as we all know is best for meeting wagering requirements).

I cleared the first 20% on Blackjack easily enough and decided to stick the £27 I had left on slots, as I just spent the last 40 mins playing blackjack I was rather bored so decided to play £1 a spin slots :) and hit 4 wilds on some random slot for just over £100, after meeting the wagering requirments I was left with about £90 which hit my neteller account in about 3 days, not bad for an hours ‘work’ ;)

Although I have yet to attempt them Will Hill also offer some good first deposit bonuses as follows:

# 150% up to £150 free
# Mid-Roller – Deposit £500 get £350 free
# High-Roller – Deposit £1,000 get £500 free
# VIP – Deposit £3,000 get £1,000 free

All of the above require 20x play through.

PKR Review64

PKR Review

The main goal of the PKR is that they want to advance in the game experience of online poker. The site offers improved software in the terms of 3-d reality and the ability to create personality on the poker tables. Players are able to make a selection of their fascial structure, clothing, hair style and also to include visuals of their avatar. Whilst on the tables players are able to clap their hands, egg your opponents into a call or cry over a bad beat.  You are able to make movements of the camera around the entire table and the graphics are extremely fabulous.

The PKR has been criticized for not being friendly to the hardcore multi-table task masters but for new players you would definitely have to set your own priorities when selecting your poker site. This site would be the best but it requires a little bit of patience for you to understand how the system functions. If you are not a player who tiles 4 tables on the screen and playing more than 200 hands per hour then the PKR would certainly be the best place for you to play your poker games. If you are searching for realism, great visual experience and customizable character then the PKR should be your top consideration.

The PKR has become one of the fast growing online poker rooms with several ring games and tournaments growing gradually. The PKR offers great bonuses to its members and these bonuses are said to be very strong with an initial deposit you will get a 100% match up bonus up to $800 and a 100% reload bonus.

The PKR does not accept US players and this is a very unique poker site that has got reality and visual experience.

Bonus (100% up to $800 and 1,500 PKR Points) and Promotions:

The PKR has got a very large initial deposit bonus than compared to the other online poker sites available. New players will …

Intercasino knows how to treat it’s High Rollers!67

Taken from a InterCasino Press Release:

An example would be the recent Haymarket Race Day where InterCasino invited some of their most loyal players as VIP guests. They had an expenses paid day at the races, which included a 5 course meal, access to the InterCasino VIP area in the racing stand, a tour of the paddock with one of the events directors and of course, plenty of champagne. The players were also invited to present the winning prize for one of the horse races to the owner and jockey live on Channel 4 television. You can see clips of the event on YouTube.

The players who attended had a great day and left some really positive feedback:
“it was a bit of a surprise that we were asked to present the decanter and champagne to the winning owner, trainer and jockey of the third race, but at the same time it was very exciting and a one-off experience.” Peter.
” My partner and I had the most amazing time and all of the intercasino staff and the staff at Newmarket made us feel very special.” Jane.

Feel free to send in more stories of how the high rollers are treated, have you recieved Free Gifts, Holidays etc?
