BigFish 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 In his post interview on Cardplayer, a reporter asked how much of himself he owned in the main event, to which Mike replied "I dont want to discuss that". Anyone have any insight??? :shock: Link to post Share on other sites

SportsW234 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yeah he prbobably sold 10-20% of himself, but sold he still only made 800,000 or 900,000. Link to post Share on other sites
Tritz 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 it was probably more somewhere around 50% Link to post Share on other sites
closetwin 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 None of you have any clue how much he owns. Don't say things.I bet his reaction would be the same if he didn't want to discuss a 5-10% swap with other players. It could cause a scandal a la Paul Phillips. All sorts of deals are looked at as shady today.So, just don't speculate. None of you know.CT Link to post Share on other sites

murmar 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Anyone remember that episode of Curb your Enthusiasm where Larry goes to a doctor in a locker room and asks him medical questions?

TheHugeGuy 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Why is it important how much he owned of himself? Just pretend like it was 72% and be happy. The guy played fantastic poker and that makes him happy, so whether he owned 0% of himself or 100% of himself, I'm gonna be happy for him. Link to post Share on other sites
TheIceman05 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hey Smash. You remember where you saw that? I remember hearing (seeing?) somewhere that Matusow owned a pretty small portion of himself, but I was pretty sure it was shockingly high (like50ish percent), at least for a guy who can't be all that flush. Anyway, holla at a brother if you remember where you saw it.Cheers,Ice Link to post Share on other sites
