Greg refuses to shake his hand

funny sequence. Greg kinda came off looking like an old prude. But obviously with all of the tv editing, we don't know how long Madisaw(sure I spelled it wrong) was acting like an ass before that.

No he wasn't. If you're playing and you lose a pot and somebody goes on a rant using profanity towards you would you shake his hand? Matusow told Raymer he had small testicles. That [censored] is uncalled for. I wouldn't have shaken his hand either. Raymer played him like the fool he is.

Yeah I guess theres two sides to every tail. I saw it as one guy joking around and having fun, then when he realized that he was out of line, he immediately apologized saying, 'Hey you know I'm only joking man, no hard feelings.' Then the other guy holds a grudge and refuses to shake his hand.

As I said in my first post, with tv editing being the way it is, I definitely won't hold it against either player in any way. Thats just how I perceived it. And yeah, since Greg is so popular around here, I expect everyone to see it the way you did as well.

Anyway, not really a big deal. Entertaining tv if you ask me.

I would laugh it off too in Greg's spot....until testicles are mentioned. Over the line Matusow!

Most people really enjoy it when someone is joking around and having fun while doing their best to make them feel like a complete piece of sh!t in the process. That was seriously low class.

You read it wrong. Matusow was being an a-hole, plain and simple. He was still condescending as he 'apologized.'

You completely missed what was happening here. Early in the tirade, Matusow screams, "you're not playing with little kids here buddy," as if he's talking to some idiot on the street. He goes on to beat his chest and proclaim his superior manhood, while belittling Greg. He then comes to the rare moment where he realizes what a jackass he's being and takes the opportunity to offer up a condescending and disingenuous apology, while still snickering at Greg with his lacky buddy like they're sharing some private joke at Greg's expense.

Matusow is lucky that Greg is (by all accounts I've been privy to) a complete gentlemen, because more than a few people that frequent poker rooms would've put that idiot on his a** right then and there.
