Was just wondering what you guys make of him, i mean his stats are awesome, but whenever I see him play, or play vs him, he is soooooooo sooooooo bad!
I mean, his aggression is definitely a good attribute of his game, but he calls 3 bets so light + gets his chips in even lighter....
Scotty is pretty good IMO. He definitely has some leaks, but I'd trade my game for his any day. I think it's a testament to not having to play perfect to play profitably, which gives me a lot of hope actuallly.
lol I hate Scotty and I think he is terrible, but I guess it's a big personal grudge ;p, I think he will never ever do good against most decent regs, and I dont think he'll ever beat high stakes unless he changes alot about his game, but he obv dominates $110s and under
Of course he berated me in chat.

People that kind of see his major leaks and adjust right do very well against him, more so than your typical regular.
He does dominate a lot of bad players, and that's why I think his ROI is so good.
I don't think I'd prefer to play him at the $115 level, but I'm not upset if he sits me or anything and I think he'd be a pretty soft spot for the average $570-1130 player on Stars.
I'm not being sarcastic when I say I love villain's line here, and of course, given that villain is good enough to play like this, your line is nastyyyyyyy. Turn check-call is sickkkkkk.
Yea, there's a reason why Scotty's ROI is good, he can play vs fish postflop.
A good player makes him eat his shit by calling with such trash preflop consistently. You can't outplay everyone.
Good looking on Rack's turn line, much better than Scotty's bet :)
Edit: Fwiw, I think 300 on the turn is infinitely better vs bad players you're not consistently playing.
Love Prim's reply.... exactly what i wanted to say i just put it nicely lol. He's a douche
yeah it's funny I had this one hand match and then opened this thread up. As you can imagine I got a lecture :)
