last night was awesome, Charles Barkley was playing black jack 1000$ a hand. Everyone was watching him having fun with his ***. While i was playing poker i saw Scotty Nguyen walking around, i yell out is that Scotty Nguyen? he then looks and says "WAS UP BABY" the he come to my table and shakes my hand and says " what we working with baby, lets see your card" i show him my J2 off suit and im about to fold, he says " NO BABY, YOU PUSH ALL IN BABY." I say to him Hell no, and fold, he then laughs and is like "how you fold cards like that, come on baby" So i guess hes in town to visit his mom, who lives in Scottsdale. Scotty defiantly a nice a nice guy. fun experience.

you thought wrong, if you have seen any interview with Barkley about his gambling, he says he will NEVER stop gambling but he realizes he has a problem and wants to (WANTS TO) stop playing for $10,000+ a hand and focus on the 1,000$ a hand range. At casino AZ the max bet a hand on BJ is $1000. he did well last night, he made like $60,000, But when your net worth is over 200,000,000 not much fazes you

I bet it is pretty close....with the contracts that he had as a player, tv money, endorsements, investments....I bet he has quite a bit of cash

I would'nt think hes worth that much unless he was making amazing investments. And with the gambling habit that he has its difficult to think he manages his money really well (allthough I definately could be wrong)

First of all, Charles has invested extremely well, im talking insanely well.here is some things i foundhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_ga...life_of_reilly/He's a player in politics. Bill Clinton has strolled Watts with him. Gore and Bush have met with him. Bill Bradley calls. Yeah, when you're a black businessman with a net worth of more than $200 million and you can move huge blocs of votes with one well-placed quote, your answering machine tends to fill up.If you haven't already heard, Charles Barkley on Wednesday announced that he has lost over $10 million in gambling over the years. What makes this announcement more disturbing than the $10 million lost is that Barkley doesn't think he has a gambling problem because he has enough money to cover his losses. In an interview with ESPN, Barkley made the following statements: It's not a problem. If you're a drug addict or an alcoholic, those are problems. I gamble for too much money. As long as I can continue to do it I don't think it's a problem. Do I think it's a bad habit? Yes, I think it's a bad habit. Am I going to continue to do it? Yes, I'm going to continue to do it. When I gamble I should be playing $1,000 a hand instead of $20,000 a hand, because if I played for $1,000 a hand I probably could lose $50,000 to $100,000 a hand instead of millions of dollars. And I've got to reach a happy medium because I've told all of the people in my life that first and foremost it's my money. I like to gamble and I'm not going to quit. I've just got to get it under control."

Seriously if this is a April Fool's joke its a pretty lame one, because this does'nt sound at all unbelievable. Whats the big deal seeing Barkley in a casino in Zona, he has a ton of ties there (still lives there?) and is a degen gambler. And its Scotty Nguyen not Chow Yun fat.

its not a ****ing April fools joke, lol. and if you were at the casino from 11pm - 2am you would of seen him there if you even went to the bathroom. Now scotty was simply walking around the card room greeting people and ****. he was nice as hell and as i said before he was in town because his mom lives in Scottsdale and he was simply visiting her. he didnt play any poker he was just there for about an hour and then left.

I can't verify or not, but I do know that Charles frequents CAZ, and also Scotty has been there before and this very thing went down. He was messing with some of the players and told a guy to shove a bunch of cash in with a dumb hand, and then gave him $100 to cover his losses or something when the guy did it.So anyway, it could be legit :)Mark

Yeah, there are often some celebs or sports stars at caz, I played 40/80 with Shawn Marion a few months back, thats my one claim to fame. And I am almost certain that the max blackjack bet at caz is 500

He keeps busy. With all that he's had going on for the better part of 25 years, I can believe it.

Now you've learned your lesson. If you have an interesting casino experience on April 1st, it's a better idea to post the story on April 2nd to avoid the April fools day accusations. :club:

That's totally why I bought it. Famous folks go through there ALL the time...stories like this are not abnormal at all.
