\"Tourney players are idiots\" -Mike Matusow
 
http://live.cardplayer.com/poker_tou...mp;video_id=45

The vidoe of Mike M. is hilarious, and he is more jokey than ussual. Even though he is annoying he has a good point, people who watch the wpt and such are being taught to love coinflips way too much, too much preflop pushing really diminishes the skill of the game, which is mainly seen postflop. Hope the main even is not all played preflop.

Sure he sounded like like a dick, but he was pretty [censored] funny during the whole thing.

Love him or hate him, he was 100% correct about everything. I mean, how many times have you said almost the exact same thing?

You clearly commit yourself, and then the guy raises you allin with NO FE whatsoever holding 33. This is a good way to play poker?

Hey, when he's right, he's right.

And he's right. The people he's talking about get these moves on the Travel Channel, they take them out of context, and then they put them to play in the Real World.

I, for one, would rather get outplayed.

Meh. His opponents put their money in the pot with the best hand and Matusow is complaining that he couldn't outdraw them.

When your opponent gets you to put all your chips in the pot with the inferior hand, you have been outplayed.

It seems people just don't like the aggressive style of play used by many new players because they don't have the defensive resources to play against it. It looks like it's time to improve your games.

The funny thing to me is the fact that Mikey should thank the travel channel for all the players that are playing. If it wasn't for the TC and the likes. the PROS would not have as much dead money and as many tournes to play in.

Maybe you should put yourself on timeout for condescension.

What I meant was that although the hands turned out to be best, the players making the plays, in many cases, seem not to understand that they are pushing a way behind/nominally ahead situation.

I do not feel as if my post warranted such a scathing response, by the way. Who should I see about that?
