Ran into Mike Matusow at the WSOP in 2019. I know that the WSOP is not a black tie affair, but he took casual to a new low...looked like a homeless person living on the street.
I guess the high-stakes-pro life isn't as luxurious as most believe it is then
I don't know his financial situation, but who knows, maybe he is struggling with his
bankroll right now? Who knows? A veteran pro like Matusow, I would think has plenty of personal money to at least dress respectably though, but that is just my opinion. Maybe he wanted that "look" for table image reason or something, I don't know
I might not like Matusow's table personality in poker, but I still respect him as a veteran poker pro who studies poker a ton.
