i dunno. the board was J67J6. seems like it woulda been a easy call with 77.

on a side note, the observer chat is just assanine.

Word. I have never seen anything like it.

that hand that was the "sickest bluff", spirit rock was contemplating calling with K hi there, so it wasn't THAT amazing a bluff. He just got lucky that mahatma didn't go with his gut instinct and call with K hi...

mike just pulled off the sickest bluff. board is double paired and mike pushes with duece 3

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.

I gotta stop watching, its a train wreck. Mike has dropped $60,000. Thats like more than I make in a year.

Yeah, holy jesus. Mike is gone now and Spirit Rock is sitting there with $80,000 [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

It didn't end there. He lost about $45k to Poppychullo at UB playing HU Omaha 8/b.

Interesting to note. MM asked Poppychullo to send 30, then 20. Wanted him to pay Ivey or Barry. And when Poppychullo went to bed, MM said:

"send me 20 more"
"we at 2 right now"
"so I got someone to play"

Brunson = Poppy?

LOL. This is hilarious. I would like to see how much he lost to Hassan and Mahatma. I suspect it can be around half of big one already.

This is somewhat disheartening. I watched Matusow's interviews at cardplayer's coverage of the WSOP and I kinda liked the guy, his swagger an enthusiasm. I called my wife and had her watching the interview as well (she studied psychology, she hates poker and she hates me playing poker but accepts it). Her observations upon watching Matusow:

On surface: moves like an animal in the cage, eyes still full of adrenalin, lays it very thick that he is great all others are suckers etc...

Below surface: Fear of being a sucker, fear of going broke, fear of being nobody, obviously a compulsive gambler.

Showing her the interview was not a good idea... Since then I always tone it down a notch when speaking about poker.
