Is Mike Matusow the same guy that Raymer

phdinsports · Jul 14, 2005

Eliminated last year, when he wouldn't shake his hand cause all the trash talking?

Yes. That's Mike "The Mouth" Matusow

OMG!! They're first and fifth in chips, with only 27 players left. Couldn't ask for a better script! Would love to see the humble Raymer stick it to him again!

Mike's a good guy he's just misunderstood

"I got big balls, you got little balls" Poker aside, Raymers best defense was reaching for a notebook to write that down.

Raymer publicly forgave the Mouth for his 'big-ball, little-ball' schtick in an interview, saying that the Mouth isn't such a bad guy, and that ESPN was unfair in not showing all the nice things the Mouth does and says.

Personally, I think Raymer is too forgiving. The camera doesn't lie, the guy is a jerk.

WILL BE GREAT to see raymer bust his big crying, whining mouth again

will pay to see him cry as he loses

Mike M is well liked by many of the players in the tourny circuit. Many say he is a good guy.

Don't take anything Oldirtyku says seriously...he's coked up right now.

Pretty good player

Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow became a member of the poker industry when his first job was dealing poker at a Vegas casino. He quickly learned his real talent waas playing the game. Late night Omaha games at Sam's Town Poker Room taught Mike the finer points of playing winning poker. His success in these games convinced Mike he should quit dealing and begin playing full time. one of his goals was reached in 1999 when he won the WSOP No-Limit Hold'em event. Mike is considered to be the best Omaha poker player in teh world. his style of playis aggresive and verbal, hence the nickname, 'The Mouth.' mike is a very emotional player and doesn't hesitate to express his feelings at or away from the table.

1999, First place WSOP No-Limit Hold'em

2002, First Place WSOP Omaha Hi/Lo Split

Personally, put many an hour in at the Sams Town Pokerrrom, having lived just a couple miles up the street from there.

Don't recall THE MOUTH, but then again never played Omaha, and hopefully never will.
