So we find some insight to professional poker players...

Mike Matusow just recently had the most cash he's ever had - 1.7 Million. He's also still a degenerate sports gambler - Playing a 16 team $5,000 teaser.

So who's money is the scumbag playing with all the time?

Next week Phil Ivey, Yukon Jack, D'agostino

Matusow's pretty well known for getting stakes from a few of the high stakes players, and his rep is to lose it pretty quick and find more stake to get it back. Basically he borrows money, loses money, borrows more money, wins money, pays back the money he owes, and is then broke again because he has to pay back all of the money he has. This guy's like a friggin train wreck.

With that said he's still fun to talk to and watch play cards.

Was it just me or did Daniel N. play like crap? I didn't like limping in with pocket queens and letting a weak ace draw out. Perhaps he is gun shy from the bad beats he took in the last season? BTW, I kind of like "the mouth", he is entertaining to watch!

he could have raised the queens and won 1500 or so in blinds. or he could have raised it and been called in a few spots and lost more than he did.

when you're playing that deep, you don't need to raise with all your strong hands.

If you watch the position, you'll understand Daniels play. If he was in late position he would have raised. The flop made it hard to bet...just one of those times where it just didn't work out. He got away from it, he couldn't do much about it.

For some reason GSN has aired the 2 days out of order, best for last I assume. The tough table played on Day 1.

The begining of this season was terrible. Bill Chen, Victor, Jamie, even Sheiky played bad, Mike played okay, Daniel looked bored, Doyle looked like he was obligated to be there... just aweful. So then it got mixed up a bit and I was REALLY starting to like the action table: Sammy, Eli, Todd, sbrugby, Barry, and E-Dog. And then we got a new table (pretty good table, but we only get 2 eps worth) that is really fun to watch with Antonio/Phil and Mike/Daniel.
