    Not unless it was in the last few hours.

    He gave an interview on ESPN this morning and has been playing alot at FT the last couple of days.

    Why are you taking what your friend says as believable compared to any news you could access on google for instance.

    Only reason I ask is because I play on Full Tilt every now and then and lots of the Poker pros are online right now playing as if life is normal in Pokerland. Mike plays over there lots of nights, but he is not online now just an FYI. No talk on the various table chats there about any Matusow news either.

    He probaly rushed to conclusions on a sportscenter piece on him.


    I saw that last night and I was thinking the same thing it did seem like a tribute but than they said "make sure you watch matasaw tommorw night in the tourney of champions"

    I find ALL poker players to be highly annoying and a WASTE of air time on ESPN.

    I can care less what happens to them. It's not a real sport. It's a card game.

    No offense to anyone. I love playing poker.. but I really don't consider it a real sport nor does it deserve a spot on a major sports channel.

    I'd MUCH rather watchthe spelling bee than this crap. At least the spelling bee features some fainting (

    I saw the World Cup Stacking Championships the other day on ESPN 2. That was intense.

    I was asking for more specifics homeslice (thinking you may possibly know some further details that your friend threw out there to lead you to take this rumor more seriously where you put enough weight into the statement to start a thread about it), not trying to give you a hard time.

    This is a shock! So young, so full of life. He was hands down my favorite poker player.

    RIP

    :(

    That must have been taped cause I am standing over his corpse right now with a bloody knife, no short term memory, and a killer hangover. Hey what are these scars on my lower back where my kidneys would have been? :confused:
