How busted do you think Matusow got after this show? It took as much self-control as he had to lay down those Kings, and only then because he only had one buy-in. Every ounce in his body wanted to call, but even he couldn't. I bet he called every bet on the river with an overpair for the next month after that show.

I belive Mike took his "revenge" instantly on other players by playing very strong in the next episode. Mike just did not want to bust on the very first hand.

I just never understood his reasoning behind the hand.. if Matusow but Helmuth on JJ/QQ/AK/AA pf why could not he just 4-barrelled pf and get the money in as a favourite against the range. If he did not want to bust, why on earth did he opt out to call on turn when the blank river hit?
