all i can say is wow.

"MM: Literally. I was a compulsive degenerate. It got to the point where I would steal money so I could go play."

I agree with him that some players have no personalities. And weather you hate him or like him I enjoy seeing him at the final table.

Go ahead and check out the thread I started a couple of weeks ago on this article.
Matasow is a raving lunatic

I'm shocked by just how much a degenerate he is.

Re: The Mouth Article @ Cardplayer
 

Sad that his 1 million win just payed off some markers.

He sucks, and here's proof.

MM: Online poker players are the worst poker players in the history of mankind. I play against really bad players who just give their money away. Guys put in $13,000, $14,000 when they can’t beat anything. Only online do you see that. That can never happen in a live game. I crush the no-limit online.

MK: I remember hearing that you had been having some serious swings just prior to the Series, that you had gotten ahead $750,000 online and lost back most of it.

MM: That’s true. One of the biggest mistakes I made was playing online during the World Series. Whenever I got knocked out of a Series event — which was every one I played in up till the championship — I would go home, go online, and play $50-$100 no-limit. It was a game in which you could lose $30,000 or $40,000 a day. My friends eventually came by and took away my keyboard and mouse. But I was f---ing jonesing. [Playing online poker’s] an addiction, man.

Yeah I'm sure most of the guys "crushing" the 50-100 games go on 75 buy in downswings...

Re: The Mouth Article @ Cardplayer
 

This article was just about the most depressing thing I've ever read...

How can someone not care about having no money? Especially a pro player...

What happens when he gets too old to play and can't get people to loan him money?

Great article.

I like him, he embraces his flaws as a person/gambler. I bet you he's no different than a few big time players, he's just not afraid to admit it.
