Matusow
For a while I thought this guy was entertaining - obnoxious, but in a mostly harmless kinda way. But after watching this year's WSOP I'm convinced he's just a tool. His annoying fake laugh when Raymer got moved to his table was bad enough, but what really got me was his condescending, "I'm in the presence of a Wuuuurld Champ-eeon. I feel so priv-e-lidged!" Gotta hand it to Fossilman for having the restraint to ignore him. Now there's 2 opposite ends of the spectrum in the class department.

Nothing about what Mike did in that situation reeks of obnoxiousness. If anything it was a humorous reaction to the perceived tension between the two. I never thought for a second that there was any ill will with his comments. |

you better think for two seconds then and I think you will see it differently. he is a total ass at the table. [/ QUOTE ] no see, I have thought about it. He played awesome poker at this years ME and if anything was quite toned down from the "old" Mike. Do you know about the weeks of frustration leading up to the ME for Mike? I see much of his "antics" this year being a result of stress. I also think there are much much worse people than Matasow. You haters are just jumping on the Norman Chad "Mike the Mouth is an ass" bandwagon. Ironically that's probably the same people who berate Chad all the time. |

[/ QUOTE ] And he's actually come off looking not too bad this year. COmpare him to Stillman, and the Sinky British guy, the two of them have been way more annoying the Mouth this year (At least what's been shown), and the Matusow is a much better player then both of them. Yeah, he can be an ass at times, but he's been nowhere near the biggest ass in WSOP this year. |

I've seen at least four potential Mike Matusow meltdowns on TV so far and he has caught the breaks in each one. His good fortune was to accumulate so many chips when he was at the TV table against so many donkeys. I'm not faulting the guy for his play but I think if we are going to label some of the amatuers as lucky, Mike certainly had more than his fair share at this year's ME and deserves the label as well. |

Re: Matusow
IMO, of the two episodes last night, the one with MM at the featured table was by far the more entertaining of the two. I agree about MM and GR at opposite ends of the class spectrum. But I like contrast.
