Matusow

[revots33]

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.

well, I couldn't disagree more. 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.

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.

Gots to love Matusow.

What did he say?......"Kiddie table.....down the street."


Love it.

He's a douche. And what about his angle shooting with fake moving of his chips into the middle of the table and then pulling them out. Douche.

Much <3 for Mike.

Poker poker, it's all skill
Start with the worst hand, and work uphill.

Tell me that's not f'ing hilarious.

He's a great player who plays to win (and he'll tell you 1000 times a day), he is obnoxious enough to put others on tilt (and himself sometimes), and really really knows how to play. How you could not respect that is beyond me.

[tonypaladino]

I kinda like him.

He also said this to Prahlad after making an absolutley crazy call (ace high only) for a winning 20k pot. This really pissed off Mahatma and started the awesome banter between them. Prahlad then of course busted Mike within the hour.
