The penalty system is the WORST idea in poker history. How can they penalize people for profanity in a poker tournament when the players are the ones posting the buy ins for the events? Poker is not a sport in the same way Hockey and Basketball are, it is more of a group of people posting out of their own pocket in order to have a shot to beat everyone else for a much larger portion of money. You cant give me a penalty in a game where every hand matters and literally time is money. Oh and I dont think they have it anymore, they went back to editing and bleeping the curse words out.

On the topic of Scotty, I just watched it Wednesday, and wow, I understand he was drunk, but he still showed absolutely no class, the first time ripping on DeMichele was fine, I laughed, then the constant barrage of insults at everyone was too much. It was terrible, I was rooting for Lindgren and DeMichele at the end of the tourney.
