Webslinger516 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I thought that Matusow affecting the game from the sidelines is a little unethical seeing that he would randomly encourage people or randomly discourage people. Like telling Juanda how bad his post-flop game is and telling Sheiky to not let them push him around. Just seems like he's affecting the game a little too much.On the other hand, I think it makes for good TV. Cunningham, Sheiky and JJ weren't saying much and it adds a little twist to the action. Also, I would be interested to watch poker shows as Mikey as a commentator. Your thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
mx957 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Do you let railbirds effect your play? These are Pro's they don't. Mikey was just annoying everyone. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I would be interested to watch poker shows as Mikey as a commentator. Your thoughts?The Producers built that set for a reason. It has a bar area and a lounging area so people will hang around. I wonder if Juanda, Sheiky, or Allen's complaining was the reason Mike had to "take a piss". You're right, it was entertaining. If Mike was commentator I see it sounding like a WWE broadcast. PLAY BY PLAY GUY..."Wow what an AMAZING read by Daniel Negreanu'"Mike..."He is such a donkey...he has no heart..... not like me. One of these days the horse shoe is gonna fall out of Daniels arse and he is gone keep putting his money in dead...then it will be DANIEL WHO??"PLAY BY PLAY GUY"Awe mouth...you can't talk about Daniel that way...."Mike interrupts"ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I'M PLAYN MY GAME I'M THE BEST HOLDEM PLAYER ON DA PLANET........"And so on and so forth.

I thought Daniel paid for him to go to rehab and get some help. What is he doing taking double shots of Vodka on PAD? Link to post Share on other sites
Webslinger516 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 The behavior of drunkards ceased to amuse me when I was 18 or 19 years old.Well, he was entertaining not only that he was yapping, but that he was actually talking about some good poker stuff. Like the fact that Sheiky did say that he would never lead out when flopping 3-of-a-kind, yet he bet out on a paired board to bluff out Cunningham. That was a good observation.

TR1N1TY 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Matusow On Pad: Your Thoughts?my thoughts are that he was hopped up on coke. He was chomping his jaw like a mo fo (again) Link to post Share on other sites
farmist 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 One thing is for sure: IF Mike was allowed to do commentary, there would be little to no coverage of the actual game going on. There would be more than enough talk of how he is unlucky, how much of an idiot everybody is, how unlucky he is, how bad everyone is playing, and how unluck he is. Link to post Share on other sites
TR1N1TY 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Mikey is great for poker and his smack talk is never mean spirited. He incorporates a psychological angle to his game that most players don't. Personally, he strikes me as a genuine guy and a fun cat to hang out with. Oh and yea he can play poker too. Everybody likes to rip Mike because he 'blows up' (haven't we all ?) but he is an easy target for the micro nerds and railbirders who can only dream of playing the limits he does. He is obviously good for his debts and pays them on time because he is well liked by most pros..and other than his sometimes annoying chatter, he is entertaining and good natured. If you don't like Mike Matusow, you are probably mean to old people and kick puppies Link to post Share on other sites
Webslinger516 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah personally I like the guy. I wonder why he thinks JJ is a bad player after the flop though? JJ seems pretty solid and still mixes up the chips. Link to post Share on other sites

Startled 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Stoned, drunk, whatever. If you like repetitive loudmouth trashtalking, he's your man. Granted, it is a bit of a tomb on PAD when there are no talkers playing, and Shana has NO idea how to get involved. Mike has one adjective for everyone: Idiot. There are big idiots and bigger idiots. He isn't half as creative or entertaining a trash talker as Tony G. Plus, he vibes a constant and annoying vulnerability, as though he might start crying at any moment. That puts me off.On another note, wouldn't it be great if Shana sat at the table when it got shorthanded, and had some material prepared to stimulate the conversation?
