Pic of Greg & Matusow After Play Ended

[Bill Murphy]

pokerstarsblog sez they "chatted genially". I played a couple events where MM was at adjacent tables. He was talking nonstop of course, but seemed self-deprecating and relaxed.

One could speculate the looming court case-incarceration contributed to his odd-idiotic play & behavior last year. MM has won a NLHE bracelet; barring a complete meltdown look for a top five finish at worst.

I'd lay even money MM is trying to make amends there.

I thought Greg said somewhere that they already had. I know he did w/Arieh.

At least Matusow can be an entertaining dick, Arieh was just a dick, period. (edit: based on televised comments I mean, I don't know any of 'em of course [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )

What did Arieh say to Williams after he was eliminated last year? I watched a webcast and haven't seen the replays until recently and they censored it out. Apparently it was something to do with Raymer...I just can't remember what it was.

something along the lines of "bust this s.o.b."

I think a lot of Arieh's trash talk was just to get players to doubt their own game. Like when the British player (can't remember his name) called arieh all in with AJo, and Arieh hit his draw, and then criticized the guy. It was like he was trying to emulate the table image that he always/only had good cards. i can see that working...just not at the final table of the WSOP...

Arieh was just pissed that Greg played a better aggro game than he does.

I think Mike was, too.

The problem is that Phil Ivey plays a better aggro game than both of them... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

What do you mean by "aggro game"?

"Bust this motherfucker." I'm not sure if Raymer heard it at the time or not.
