The Mouthpiece with Mike Matusow

by Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow

Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, one of the top professional poker players in the world (with over $10 million in tournament earnings) has become more than just a household name. He’s a favorite among the millions of television viewers who have come to count on his outrageously candid comments, emotional outbursts, and constant taunts that affirm the aptness of his nickname and make for great television theatre. Matusow’s life has been as much nightmare as it has been dream. His struggle with undiagnosed bipolar and ADHD disorders led to self-medication with illegal drugs, and a tumultuous descent in the Las Vegas gambling scene. The Mouth’s story is a high stakes rollercoaster ride featuring an insider’s view of some of the world’s largest poker tournaments, unbearable depression and suicidal tendencies, the Las Vegas party scene, rock star-like excess, outrageous antics, jail, and, in many ways, salvation.
