Mike Matusow Interview

Interesting interview of Mike "the mouth" Matusow by Card Player Magazine. Read the whole thing but here's a taste:

MK: I remember hearing that you had been having some serious swings just prior to the Series, that you had gotten ahead $750,000 online and lost back most of it.

MM: That’s true. One of the biggest mistakes I made was playing online during the World Series. Whenever I got knocked out of a Series event — which was every one I played in up till the championship — I would go home, go online, and play $50-$100 no-limit. It was a game in which you could lose $30,000 or $40,000 a day. My friends eventually came by and took away my keyboard and mouse. But I was f---ing jonesing. [Playing online poker’s] an addiction, man.

MK: Couldn’t you have just gone out and gotten a new keyboard and mouse?

That last line just kills me.
