Mike Matusow talking as he plays online

#1 25th April 2008, 3:47 AM

This is a video with Mike Matusow talking as he's playing a hand vs Eric Lindgren online. I find myself agreeing with Mike here, but I'm surprised he is as calm as he is considering he usually flips out when things like this happen:

Its a limit holdem of course hes gonna call. But he did play the set right unfortunately it didtn't turn out well on the river.

That is why limit is horrible, imo. It is nearly impossible to stop someone from taking card after card trying to make their hand.

this is something new i havent seem, a pro playing online n giving his analysis on hands. Would love to see more videos like this.

That was horribly played by Lingren. It would be interesting to see though if Mike bets the river if Lingren calls with no heart.

#6 28th November 2008, 7:04 PM

You mean Mike did not start running his mouth? Wow he must of been on Prozac or something at the moment, I got to tell you I am very suprised at him being that calm about that hand because first of that was a little wierd of Erik calling to begin with.

Yep. I hate limit for this reason excatly. He's drawing to the straight and is getting like 10 to 1 odds (or something like that, I forgot) so he keeps drawing to it. Sucks for Mike, I actually like him, he's good. Him and Hellmuth are both good so I don't see why people hate them...except for their freakouts.

it just goes to show that no matter what the stakes, if your playing limit poker, your gonna have a helluva time gettin somebody out if they have any draw. i expect this kind of play at 2/4, 3/6, 5/10, hell maybe even 10/20, but thats just horrible.

That is also what makes limit great.

If you want to play limit like no-limit... well of course you will be disappointed. Though the mechanics of the game are very similar the betting rules require a completely different strategy. Once you learn the strategies limit can be quite fun.

I think Mike is a fun player to watch and terribly under rated and mis-regarded.

I like Mikey. Did you guys see the WPT TOC from the Commerce last night. Every time Daniel got in a hand with him he (Daniel) went soft on him. One time was excruciatingly obvious. He (Daniel) hit his flush on the river and just called a small bet from Mikey. Anybody else wudda got the huge raise. It was obvious he was trying to keep him in the game. I'm thinking he was trying to get Mikey a little more money. He does seem to loose a lot. And they are friends, but it's hard to keep a broke friend when you're a multimillionaire.

Did you notice he only had $58,000.00 in his account?

He will never be broke though. Having friends like Phil Helmuth and Daniel, he will always get staked.

#12 2nd December 2008, 11:48 PM

we have a lot to learn from this player

#13 3rd December 2008, 12:29 AM

cooo cooo? what are you tlkin about?

#17 23rd December 2008, 11:06 AM

That's why I hate limit Holdem because you can call every hand and hope, hope and hope!! By the way did you saw Mikes Bankroll : 58,000,00.
I thought such pros have more than 100,000,00$ on their br.

#18 29th December 2008, 10:39 PM

lol he got unlucky on the river but it kinda seemed like the guy new the 7 was going to come because mike explained very well how it was a dumb call for a reraise he made with that 3 3 but yeah he got kinda unlucky and yeah i saw how he only had 58,000,00 he had a small amount i really thought pros had millions on their accounts!!

#19 31st December 2008, 11:13 PM

Only 1 word: Donkeyyy heee hawwwn haha,

#20 31st December 2008, 11:15 PM

WOW..maybe hes making a move on the turn and by then he is commited

#21 2nd January 2009, 10:01 PM

Matusow was right as much as I don't really care for him.
They all know everything about the ins and outs of poker. It would still be amazing to be at that level of play. Also I was on FT one day and Phil Ivey was on a Heads Up table waiting for Durr and was chatting with us. Someone asked him to come and play at a low limit table which he did to a .05/.10 table. There was about 240 people waiting to get to the table. He was there about 10 to 15 minutes and tripled his money it was pretty cool.

#22 20th February 2009, 8:50 PM

LOL,
Well I guess just about all here would suggest that 7 card or 5 card stud is sucky poker. Limit holdem IS A DRAW GAME!! Why wouldn't a player DRAW if his hand is improving or the price is relatively cheap and he has OUTS!! Most NLH players hate Limit when they start, including Doyle who admitted it took time for him to warm up to limit. I had to learn to check when in doubt in limit!! It's tough, a whole different mind set that no-limit!
Read Jen Harmon's chapter in ""SYSTEM""
I'm still learning..not that great or comfortable in limit!

GL
Peace,
FLOW

Here's my response to that...

WATCH closely as he grinds his mouth side to side...(many a times you'll see a white trace)
If he had enough COKE (powder) he will not flip out as much BUT if he is in need he will flip out on anything and everything...I have it from a source so clost to him that i know it's true.....(I play online poker with 1 of his ex-girlfriends)

#24 21st February 2009, 4:25 PM

Yeah that was amazing calm from MIKE. I`m guessing it woulda sounded a bit different if they were live.

#25 21st February 2009, 4:32 PM

hahahah this is so funny the way he tells eric lingren that he played the worst he could have..wow thanks for this post..too great!

#26 21st February 2009, 4:39 PM

I am very surprised too. I used to be just like him when I first started playing. I would blowup at an idiot call. After a while I realized that is the kind of player you want in the game. At some point their luck will run out and your skills will prevail. Victory! X
