CardWarfare 4 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Matasow isn't broke. I saw him a few days ago at Commerce playing 400/800 mixed, which was the biggest game they had at the time. He was also playing 200 chinese poker with Barry Greenstein and others last week. He was having a good time, and truly doesn't shut up. It was funny seeing him sitting next to Greenstein, who hardly says a word, almost complete opposites.basically anyone with a pulse looks like the opposite of greenstien Link to post Share on other sites

Got The Nutz 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 matusow don't give a **** about money anyway... he'd play the biggest game with his last dollar...youre wondering why he is playing 10/20 nl , its because he is winning at those limits have you seen him lately , he is playing solid there , when was the last time he had a winning session at the 25/ 50 table??on another note i dropped in one of those 10/20 tables earlier and some kid was in there and matasow bets out preflop and the kid raises him ,matasow calls him , flop comes and mikey bets and the kids raises him to all in , the kids tells matasow he flopped a set! matasow quickly calls when he shows he flopped a set of kings , i forgot what the kid had but it wasnt a set, and breaks the kid and than says ( Classic ! ) " Do i have to say it? " refering to the kiddy game down the street comment , i havent laughed so hard in a while!! Link to post Share on other sites
stealfromblind 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 yeah but considering juanda's usually sitting 100/200 ...your comparing juanda do mm? come on now card...mm isn't anywhere near juanda's league. Link to post Share on other sites
beans-n-icewater 18 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Mike lets other people use his account to play off the hours required by Full Tilt...Before he went to prison, he trusted everyone. He used to let anyone at his parties play on his account, usually girls he had an interest in....Somebody transfered about 10k from his acc to theirs a while back, and he stopped the sharing...Now it's probably someone closer to him, like the cleaning lady Link to post Share on other sites
CardWarfare 4 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 There are no 100/200 NL tables on FT.The highest is 50/100 NL if NL is what you were referencing.My bad. 50/100 is what I meant.your comparing juanda do mm? come on now card...mm isn't anywhere near juanda's league.I never said he was. Someone made a comment about how 10/20 pots can get big, and that comment was made as a contrast.easy boys. Link to post Share on other sites

allinbluff35 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 youre wondering why he is playing 10/20 nl , its because he is winning at those limits have you seen him lately , he is playing solid there , when was the last time he had a winning session at the 25/ 50 table?? earlier this week.

jjdylan 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 i think its quite possible mike took a big hit to his bankroll and is trying to build it back up....a few months ago any time id see him on full tilt he'd be playing 25/50 or even 50/100NL but for the past few days he's been 4 tabling the 10/20NL ALLLLLL DAY. I was watching him for a few hours last night while i played and he was playing rock tight too which is also a big change from any other time ive watched him Link to post Share on other sites
blueodum 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Matusow had a really good day yesterday - played at least 14 hours with a few breaks. Today he was mostly playing 10/20, but he was three, and at times four tabling. The 50/100 game had no one sitting except Juanda and there were no 25/50 games going for most of the day.I don't think anyone is using Mike's account, at least not unsupervised by Mike, unless it's someone who's a good player and Mike needs a breather.

DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Pssst.The 10/20 is the most oftenly spread full game on FT. 25/50 runs sporadically, 50/100 is usually HU or three handed.They have pots upwards of 10k on the 10/20 tables. He's not broke by any means--and he's been winning, A LOT. Link to post Share on other sites

I was watching him for a few hours last night while i played and he was playing rock tight too which is also a big change from any other time ive watched himhonestly, that's my guess too. Full tilt isn't giving him money, and he probably made some conscious decision to put no more money into his account. So he took a hit and now he wants to build it back up.

DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 ..And as for grinding it out, well, KrisQueen, Nestegg, Juanda, Erick Lindgren, Hoyt Corkins, Allen Cunningham and so on have all grinded it out on the 10/20 tables in the past.Ever think maybe Mike just didn't feel like going out today? Maybe he was a bit under the weather?Or I suppose all those other dudes are broke, too? Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierAlum 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If a person isn't playing the highest limit available, it doesn't mean they are broke. However, I don't think that is the case with Mike. BTW, 10/20 NL isn't exactly chump change. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If a person isn't playing the highest limit available, it doesn't mean they are broke. However, I don't think that is the case with Mike. BTW, 10/20 NL isn't exactly chump change.Todd Brunson is famous for playing the best game he can find, not necessarily the highest game. That being said, Matusow is (historically speaking) too much of an action junkie not to play as high as he can. If he's playing the 10/20NL tables, it's probably because he can't afford more than that at the moment.I doubt he's the personality type to finally accept that he can't beat 50/100NL and drop down to a game that's more in tune with his skill level (which is still far higher than mine or most everyone else here). If he wants to make some money, he should stake Patrick and let him use his SN on Tilt. All pros should do this, come to think of it. Link to post Share on other sites
profxavier9 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 we live in a world of haters i tell you..i dont even like the guy. Why do people care so much about his fiancial state? i think i may have figured it out they think if he is broke that they may be a better player then him....probably not Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyJoe 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 matusow plays 25/50, earlier this week i saw matusow, juanda, lindgren and flack playing 25/50 NL all at the same table. I think the reason Mike plays 10/20 is because, as someone already mentioned, 10/20 has full ring going most of the time, where 25/50 is almost always SH. Link to post Share on other sites

Something must have happened because this is a big change from his playing habits in the past. Link to post Share on other sites
MasterLJ 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Dags was lending money to Matusow. I watched a 5 handed all "pro" game on FTP a few weeks back in which they were talking about transfering funds in the chat. I'm pretty sure that he's broke for whatever reason. Restitution and lawyers are not cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
