I dont know if anyone has read the new card player yet but there is a article on Mike the mouth. I have never really liked the guy, he is an ass, he is arrogent and he is disrespetfull of people. After reading the new card player I almost feel sorry for him, he is on Anti-depressants, he obviosly has a serious gambling problem. He makes bets that he knows he's going to lose, he said he loses six figures on football every year. He said he has borrowed against his house a couple of times to pay off his debts. I expected to read something that was trying to help clean up his image but the piece was depressing.

I am sorry but I can not feel sorry for anyone who is gifted as he is. We can all say what we will about him but he is very good at poker. I am as much sympathy for him as I do any professional athlete (for lack of a better word) which is absolutely 0%. I am sorry I have met and know to many people personally who are good people and are gifted is some area who never seem to catch a break that can really help them show their gift to the world at large. So to Mike I say "Suck up and deal with it" because I know I have overcome things in my life and I am sure others on this website have as well. I am sorry about ranting but this is a huge pet peeve of mine.

I like the mouth, I met him and he was pretty cool, all be it I did NOT meet him in a poker room
