I think that alot of the Raymer groupies on 2+2 try to give Matusow a bad rap for something he did a year ago. It takes alot of guts to talk about the problems that ruined his life on national television. Also, he might be a trash talker, but he's a good card player, and after the bad beat he took last year, for him to be in the chip lead right now with forty some people left is a credit to his determination. Poker is an egotistical sport, so for those people who can't take a little trash talking, I say grow up, by taking it seriously, your at the same level as the person dishing it out. A respectful image of poker where people say Thank you instead of trash talking isn't going to do anything for poker, but alot of the same people on 2+2 who belittle NEW (Keyword NEW) players for their play do alot to hurt the sport of poker. People don't mind proffesionals trash talking, that's why Muhamed Ali is considered to be a legend. What's good for poker isn't seeing people respect the game, but entertainment value and seeing Joe Smith from nowhere, u.s.a, qualify to win millions of dollars and hang with professionals. So, in conclusion, all the raymer groupies have to get out of Matusows grill.
