 Mike
Matusow, more commonly referred
to as Mike
The Mouth was
born in LA and is notorious
for his trash talking while
at the tables not to mention
his sometimes out of control
temper which is often triggered
by trivial issues.This
is one of the many reasons
he has become one of the
more talked about players
and one of the love em or
hate em pros.
Matusow first learned poker
during the later 80’s but it wasn’t
until almost a decade later
that he began to take the
game seriously entering
into his first major tournament.
He dedicates much of his
success to being a poker
dealer and paying attention
to the game from the dealer
perspective.
Although Mike catches a
lot of slack for his mouth
he has had a successful
career thus far including
three WSOP bracelets and
the winner of the 2005 WSOP
Tournament of Champions.
His third bracelet was won
during the 2008 WSOP $5000
No Limit 2-7 Draw with rebuys
placing a solid third place.
He has also placed 30th
in the Main Event.
Mike Matusow is an endorsed
pro at Full Tilt Poker and
although it has been commented
that he has a gambling problem,
the player is often found
at the high stakes games.
If you thought his trash
talking was limited to just
the cash games and live
tournaments, you will find
the same personality online.
