The fact that they are (by his own valuation in the same game) like under $1k each just shows how much of a dick he is! It's not even a flex, it's not like he's rocking up with a Hublot on one wrist and a Patek on the other. Even then you look like a dick but at least it can be passed off as some sort of "table image" like "I've got the money to back it up, if I'm putting $30k in on a busy board I'm just as likely to have it as I am to not because I'm not worried". He's rockin' up with gold-plated giants from the Walmart range thinking he's some sort of gangster when he is just clearly a moron with an ego who thinks he's a lot better than he is, in all aspects of life.

[@damonthomas2975]

So on another video with Doug Polk that involved jungleman shuffling his chips on some obnoxious dudes cards I commented that it was that video that was a perfect example of why i hardly watch poker anymore...and I got chastised for suggesting the high stakes poker days were better because there was some exclusivity about who could join....not just any guy with a few hundred thousand could walk in and play, you also had to be a mentally and emotionally stable human being for the most part. Matusow toed the line but it's nothing compared to some of these d bags nowadays. That guy was in a hand and instead of playing he was more concerned with arguing with a player who wasn't even in the pot. If I was deeb I wouldve handled it the same way. The fact he won and slow rolled the guy was perfect...but the other behavior in general is far too common nowadays and I can't stand watching streamed poker when guys try to act tough for the camera..or they clearly are mentally out matched so they try to start a fight to get other people mad and distracted to even the playing field. Ugh it's so fucking gross and pathetic... have some amount of class and self respect for god sakes.
