‘Cowardly Piece of Shit’ Negreanu Accuses Actor Woods of ‘Chasing 16 Year Olds’
Woods is trigger-happy when it comes to taking legal action when he doesn’t like what people are saying about him, and his dig at Negreanu might not be an empty threat.
Known as ‘The Mouth’ due to his sometimes confrontational table talk, Mike Matusow is one of the most polarizing poker pros, but there is no doubting his talent on the felt.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Matusow’s first introduction to the game was a video poker machine, which he played to such an extent that he began to experience repetitive strain injuries in his arms and shoulders. Unsurprisingly this machine hurt his bankroll, so much so that he stole money from his mother’s purse and attended Gamblers Anonymous meetings.
It was not until Matusow was taught Texas Hold Em from a rounder in 1989 that his fortune started to change. In 1997 Matusow entered his first World Series of Poker event, an Omaha eight-or-better tournament, where he eventually finished second to Scotty Nguyen. The next year, convinced by Nguyen’s ability, Matusow staked Nguyen a third of his entry into a Main Event satellite. Nguyen would go on to win both the satellite and the Main Event itself, earning Matusow a third of his winnings, a cool $333,333.
Known as one of the strongest tournament players in the game, Matusow has experienced great success at the World Series of Poker. He has won four bracelets, spanning from 1999 to 2013, and has shown his versatility with each title coming from a different variation of poker. In addition to this, Matusow has also had several deep runs in the Main Event, finishing 6th in 2001, and 9th in 2005.
He rose to fame again winning the National Heads Up Poker Championship 2013 for $750,000. Matusow is infamous for his aggressive trash-talk at the table and can often be found taunting and mocking his opposition. This does not always work in his favour, as he is known to experience a ‘Mike Matusow Blow Up’, where one mistake can cost him all of his chips and hours of solid play.

Matusow in verbal confrontation with Shahram SheikhanThe Mouth vs the Shah
Woods is trigger-happy when it comes to taking legal action when he doesn’t like what people are saying about him, and his dig at Negreanu might not be an empty threat.
With career tournament earnings of over $9million some might be wondering just why he’d need staked in any event, but those in the know understand just how expensive playing big multi-event tournaments like the WSOP can be.
If you are planning to grind the live games, well, you’ll most likely encounter some unique characters at the table who can’t quite be tagged as nice guys.
Non-players need the credit they deserve
Matusow advises others to #geteducated, but apparently doesn't know the difference between using the word "whether" or "weather."
This three day event is the first of the year’s non-hold’em championships and promises to be a good one.
Mike ‘The Mouth’ just can’t help himself, whether it’s serious stuff or joking around with fellow poker stars such as Scott Blumstein.
The last few weeks Matusow seems to have popped out of his chrysalis as a gobby butterfly with hundred-dollar bills for wings.
When ‘Viffer’ decided to pick up on something Daniel Negreanu spoke about recently about Mike ‘the Mouth’ Matusow, it didn’t take long for Shaun Deeb to stick his nose in, and bend Viffer’s out of shape.
When the unthinkable happened, and Trump passed the magic 270 mark, Negreanu, Matusow and Polk among many others were quick to share their horror and their glee.
