Residing in Nevada, Mike Matusow is an American professional poker player best known by the nickname The Mouth. Matusow was introduced to poker by playing video poker at the Maxim Casino at the tender age of 18, playing so much that he got repetitive strain injury in his shoulders and arms. Matusow began his professional career as a poker dealer, but quickly switched to working as a professional player due to his adept talent.
The poker player went on to be a four-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, as well as the winner of the 2005 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, and has won a total of over 9 million in earnings as well as countless other tournaments and events. Matusow is widely regarded as an excellent player, and is so beloved by fans that he has recently set up his own podcast – The Mouthpiece – which has been jumping from success to success. The Mouthpiece has seen guests like Phil Hellmuth and Matt Berkey, as well as seeing Matusow discuss game strategy, presidential elections and how he really feels about LeBron James.
Matusow is also appropriately mouthy on twitter, where he has over 114 thousand followers, and chats to fans about everything from pressing political issues to sports analysis. The poker star also has a YouTube with over 13 thousand subscribers where he live streams online games of poker.
