id be very surprised if he had a 5M plus stake in that site based on his actions and my interactions with him.

Not sure what kind of interactions you mean, but it wouldn't surprise me if he had some kind of significant stake in FTP. Is he a member of Team Full Tilt, or is he a "friend of Full Tilt"? Is that the difference between owning a piece and some other arrangement?

My hunch on MM is that he's got his sh*t together a little better than he portrays, and that the only thing difference between him and other high stakes gamblers is that he actively puts his degenerate side on display and probably throws in a little exageration.

Didn't Matusow say on a recent WSOP broadcast that he was 200 grand in the hole?

I would never take this bet if I were Matusow. How can he possibly monitor Phil's live play all year long? He just has to take Phil's word for it...for $400k?? When Phil has a huge incentive (books, endorsements, etc.) to maintain a public image as a world-class winning pro??
