On April 30th, 1968, Mike Matusow entered the world. From a young age, he harbored the unmistakable passion towards gambling, like many professionals, but unfortunately for Matusow, it came in cataclysmic doses. Rather than taking his passion and using it constructively, Matusow found himself stealing from his mother, playing videopoker at casinos and being reduced to attend a gambler’s anonymous program, due to his addiction towards the trade. When he put his poker passion on a less destructive path, it paid off tremendously in the end. Mike has won hundreds of thousands of dollars in World Series of Poker alone. He’s also participated in the European Poker Tour, the World Poker tour, and has made appearances on poker shows broadcast on TV. But the list doesn’t stop there. If anyone knows the name Mike Matusow, they must know what he brings to the table–no, I’m not talking about skill for the trade, but something less pleasant and not covert. Like John Mcnea’s ill-tempered and combative ways are revealed on the tennis court, the same goes for Mike Matusow at the poker table, which is why he’s called ‘The Mouth’. Trash-talking has earned him a reputation you either love, hate, or admire.
