'''Michael Matusow''' (born [[April 30]] [[1968]] in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], [[California]]) is an [[United States|American]] professional [[poker]] player, residing in [[Henderson, Nevada]]. Matusow's nickname of "The Mouth" reflects his reputation for trash-talking at the poker table. He is also known for his habit of ruining hours or days of good play with a single spectacular misjudgment, (known as a "Mike Matusow Blow-up" or "Mike Matusow Meltdown").<ref name="pokerlistings">{{cite web|url=http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_mike-matusow?show=bio

==Early years==

Matusow suffered from [[bullying]] when going through school and did not attend college. He attempted to get work as an [[auto mechanic]], but did not complete the required studying for the job. He later worked at his family's furniture store.<ref name="ppm">{{cite news | last = Kaplan | first = Michael | title = Me and My Big Mouth | date = August 2006 | url = http://www.totalgambler.com/theplayers/playerinterviews/1259/me_and_my_big_mouth.html |Total Gambler | accessdate = 2007-06-01}}</ref>

Matusow's first experience of poker was playing [[video poker]] in the [[Westin Causarina Las Vegas Hotel, Casino & Spa|Maxim Casino]] at the age of 18, which he played regularly, to the extent he suffered from [[repetitive strain injury]] in his shoulders and arms. He occasionally stole money from his mother's purse and at one point attended [[Gamblers Anonymous]] meetings. Matusow was taught [[Texas hold 'em]] in 1989 by a [[rounder]] named Steve Samaroff. Early in his career, he won 81 out of 82 sessions and $250,000. He also worked as a [[poker dealer]].<ref name="ppm">{{cite news | last = Kaplan | first = Michael | title = Me and My Big Mouth | date = [[August 2006]] | url = [[http://www.totalgambler.com/theplayers/playerinterviews/1259/me_and_my_big_mouth.html]] | accessdate = [[2007-06-01]] }}</ref><ref name="fulltiltprofile">{{cite web|url=http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/mikeMatusow.php

At the [[1998 World Series of Poker]] (WSOP), Matusow paid one-third of [[Scotty Nguyen]]'s entrance fee into a satellite event for the $10,000 [[betting (poker)|no limit]] Texas hold 'em main event. Nguyen went on to win, and gave $333,333 to Matusow in return for his partial stake.<ref name="ppm">{{cite news | last = Kaplan | first = Michael | title = Me and My Big Mouth | date = [[August 2006]] | url = [[http://www.totalgambler.com/theplayers/playerinterviews/1259/me_and_my_big_mouth.html]] | accessdate = [[2007-06-01]] }}</ref> In [[2001 World Series of Poker|2001]], he finished 6th place in the WSOP $10,000 no limit Hold 'em main event.

In September 2006, Mike made his debut on the [[European Poker Tour]] (EPT) in Barcelona; however, he was eliminated on the first day. In early 2007, Matusow appeared on two episodes of [[Poker After Dark]] where he finished 3rd and 2nd respectively.

==Personal life==
In September 2002, Matusow held a party in a VIP booth of [[The Palms]], providing free ecstasy to friends. He was introduced to undercover [[Narc (Narcotics)|narcotic agent]] Mike Fento, who claimed he was involved in an [[organized crime]] family in [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]] that planned to open a [[strip club]]. Matusow claims that Fento got him involved in [[money laundering]] and asked him to score drugs for him. Matusow discovered from one of his dealers that Fento was an agent, but was arrested at his house on [[September 25]] [[2003]] for "selling and trafficking controlled substances." The police offered to allow him to wear a [[Covert listening device|wire]] to help them secure evidence on a nightclub owner, but Matusow refused as the person was connected to organized crime and could have had him killed.<ref name="ppm">{{cite news | last = Kaplan | first = Michael | title = Me and My Big Mouth | date = [[August 2006]] | url = [[http://www.totalgambler.com/theplayers/playerinterviews/1259/me_and_my_big_mouth.html]] | accessdate = [[2007-06-01]] }}</ref> Matusow was in prison from September 2004 to April 2005. During this time, Matusow lost his $250,000 winnings from his WPT final table on sports betting. [[John Juanda]] was one of the few poker players who visited him.<ref name="ppm">{{cite news | last = Kaplan | first = Michael | title = Me and My Big Mouth | date = [[August 2006]] | url = [[http://www.totalgambler.com/theplayers/playerinterviews/1259/me_and_my_big_mouth.html]] | accessdate = [[2007-06-01]] }}</ref><ref name="lasvegasvegas">{{cite web|url=http://www.lasvegasvegas.com/pokerblog/archives/001648.php|title=Mike Matusow Sentenced|publisher=www.LasVegasVegas.com|author="flipchipro"|accessdate=2006-08-06}}</ref>
 
Upon his release, [[Phil Hellmuth|Phil Hellmuth Jr]] loaned him $5,000 to start up a new bankroll. At the 2005 WSOP, however, he lost most of the $750,000 bankroll he had built up from Hellmuth's original loan and even convinced friends to take away his [[Computer keyboard|keyboard]] and [[Mouse (computing)|mouse]] so he could not play online poker.<ref name="ppm">{{cite news | last = Kaplan | first = Michael | title = Me and My Big Mouth | date = [[August 2006]] | url = [[http://www.totalgambler.com/theplayers/playerinterviews/1259/me_and_my_big_mouth.html]] | accessdate = [[2007-06-01]] }}</ref>
 
Matusow resides in a 3,700 [[square foot]] home in Henderson (with a cathedral ceiling) and bought a $90,000 [[BMW E63/E64|BMW 645 CI cabriolet]] from a $750,000 winning session at online poker.<ref name="ppm">{{cite news | last = Kaplan | first = Michael | title = Me and My Big Mouth | date = [[August 2006]] | url = [[http://www.totalgambler.com/theplayers/playerinterviews/1259/me_and_my_big_mouth.html]] | accessdate = [[2007-06-01]] }}
