Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow is the known naughty boy of the poker game as he is known for the taunting and the loud mouth that he is at the poker table. He is certainly not a player that his opponents relish having on the other side of the table.
Mike Matusow lives in Las Vegas Nevada. He was born in Los Angeles in the year 1968. This behavior of his has gone on to earn him the nick name of "The Mouth." The thing that is most admired about Mike Matusow is the tremendous amount of talent that he brings to the game of poker and cards and that is what makes people overlook his emotional outbursts.
Mike Matusow was greatly impressed by video poker and became a dealer at a hotel and gambling den in Las Vegas. This is the time that he used to study the other players around and hone on the strategies and techniques that they went on to use. That is where he went on to pick up the nuances of the game online and for live tournaments and there has been no turning back. He plays at several of the online games using different nick names.
Knowing him for the emotional outbursts and the kind, he is still able to earn great winnings for himself in several of the games that he goes on to participate in.
Most of his wins have been on the poker tables and it includes the 2005 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions and the 2002 WSOP. There were several other wins besides these and they have gone on to earn him a really good amount of wins.
The most significant win amongst all of this was the World Poker Tour in October 2004, where earned $250,000. The good thing about Mike Matusow is that he is equally loved and revered and at the same time looked down upon because of his language. There are some people who really love the way he behaves and his antics on the other hand there are some who detest the distraction that it creates on the table.
His demeanor and what he shows is probably what not his real self is and just a cloak to hide his inner real self that has gone through so many upheavals. He has had to fight with drug addiction and depression. He was even charged on felony and had to spend time in jail as well.
Mike Matusow has several achievements up his sleeve. These are the three bracelets that he has won for himself, and the 29 money finishes. Taking all of this into consideration, one thing that Mike Matusow is also known for is ruining a whole lot of hard work and good play with one careless mistake. He continues to be one poker player that remains equally well loved and disliked at the same time. At last count his total tournament winnings were more than $7,400,000. He certainly has been able to gain a whole lot from the game of poker.
