How the Legend Began Scotty Nguyen's Unbelievable Poker Origin Story

For more poker news head to http://www.pokerlistings.com/

There are a handful of true living legends in the poker world and in terms of charisma and entertainment value, Scotty Nguyen is right up there with the best of them. In this candid video video interview from the World Series of Poker Scotty opens up about the early days of his poker career. It all started when he emigrated to America from Vietnam in 1983 and worked as a busboy.

With too many people at home he was always looking for a fun way to pass the night. Enter poker. Scotty says he started playing Seven-Card Stud but went broke every single night. When he switched games, his fortunes turned around on the spot. Scotty says the staff at his restaurant treated him poorly and one day he go so fed up he collected his last paycheck for $270 and told the waiters that he quit, and that the next time they saw him they would kiss his ass.

Scotty took his money to Lake Tahoe where he crushed every poker game in sight. By the end of the week he had a six-figure poker bankroll. He returned to the restaurant, assembled the wait-staff and put $300 in front of each of them. Remember, this is the 1980s so $300 really meant something.

He then told if they kissed his ass all night they could keep the money. He then ordered six of everything on the menu, went out onto the street and collected some people to come in and eat. Legend.
