Famous Mike Matusow quotes

They don't call him "The Mouth" for nothing, he's got plenty to say at the poker table. He's also got plenty to say anywhere else you may find him, an ESPN interview, sitting at the bar at Bellagio....

So here are some of the famous "Matusowisms" from years past:

"There's over 2000 donkeys in this tournament and I had to be at the table with none of them."

"There's no skill in poker. Poker is a joke. Tournament poker is a joke. Whoever gets most lucky is the next superstar."

"I think I'm probably the most well-liked person on the tour, I think most people love me, I mean I have a lot of fun with people. I needle them, but I needle them in a nice way."

"Right now there is probably not a human being in the world with less regard for money than me. I make bets for thousands of dollars that I know I can't win. I was at the poker table once and made a $5,000 bet with Howard Lederer that Shawshank Redemption won best picture. Doyle Brunson told me not to make that bet because he made it once and lost. Of course, I didn't listen, and had to give Howard $5,000."

"Vindication baby! One time!"

"Kiddie poker is down the street."

"I thought this was my year, I felt I was the best player at the table. I'm pissed that I didn't get a chance to play when it got down to five or six handed." (ESPN Interview, after getting busted from the 2005 final table)

"I believe in my heart I'm one of the top five No Limit Holdem players in the World. It's the only thing I do good. I'm an idiot when it comes to anything else."

"No one is as unlucky as me, why does this keep happening to ME?"

"I'm playing the best poker of my life"

There are so many Matusowisms that I'll save the rest for a later entry.

BTW, Mike has been hitting the tables quite a bit lately at Full Tilt Poker. You can play poker online with Mike at Full Tilt Poker. Look for any table highlighted in red inside of the Full Tilt Lobby, that means a pro is seated there and it may be Mike!
