Evenings With Mike Matusow

The following conversation was overhead at Mike Matusow's table:

Matusow: "I was just asking myself, where is Dannenmann? Did you just get into town?"

Steve Dannenmann: "Yeah. I mean, I got a life outside of poker."

Matusow: "How's life? Things good?"

Dannenmann: "Life is great, life is great. Business is great, and it gets better every day. If you were to ask me that tomorrow, it will be better tomorrow than it is today. You're looking good, Mike."

Another player: "How much weight did you lose?"

Matusow: "About 62 pounds, but I gained 15 of it back. I'm afraid to go on a scale. You see, I like pizza and hamburgers. I was eating fruit and salad for six months. I didn't eat bread for five months. "

Tune in next time as Mike Matusow and Phil Hellmuth discuss the topics of sharing and humility.
