Just read Bluff Magazine where Matasow says he came into this year's WSOP "without a quarter," because he said he lost $400,000 playing online.

I saw this too. Amazing.


Difference between me and Matusow: If I EVER have $400k the chances of me EVER going broke are extremely remote.
In fact, even with a poker bankroll at only $10k-$20k I'm fairly confident that it's pretty unlikely to happen.


It's $400-freaking-K.
And he blows it all online and doesn't have a quarter to his name?!?!

I mean, if I ever went on such a losing streak at fairly high limits with a $400k roll I would at least have the common-sense to slow-down after dropping the first $200k or $300k or $350k.
Blowing through all of it is just idiotic.


Obviously he's not the first to have done something like this so I'm probably just under-estimating the power of tilt and gambling-addiction, etc etc.
