Which side do you take - Mike Matusow vs Shawn Sheikhan?

didimaketherightplay · Dec 8, 2007

i think most will say Mike. Who knows, maybe a few will say shawn, or neither.

YouTube - Mike Matusow and Sean Sheikhan

Classic video. Without clicking it, obv you mean the wsop blow up... Shawn is a dik at the tables a lot.

Go Mike :S

Annoying at times, but mostly just entertaining and fun

Personally, I have absolutely no problem with profanity at the poker table. The rules say otherwise though and Mike was given the time out for good reason. What Shawn did was a million times worse though. It affected the hand and that kind of behavior should not be tolerated. Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me. But letting people know what you folded? Unacceptable.

Mike is completely justified in that reaction. Perfectly normal language for many people as well and I don't personally see the problem with it at a poker table, but at the same time the rules are the rules and are quite clear so Mike is guilty here also.

Shawn's offense is far worse than Mike's in my opinion though.

Sheikhan is such a jackass. I just can't stand the guy.

I agree that while Mike broke the rules, Shawn's behavior was much worse and should have gotten him a more severe penalty.

The swearing rules have been changed. I believe you are now allowed to cuss, just not directly at someone. In other words you can say "F#@K!" when your opponent flops a set or something, but you can't say "FU" directly to someone or call them a name.

Definitely Mike - glad to hear the language rule's been changed too.

royalburrito24 · Dec 9, 2007

mike cuz he is better and not as (parden my french) douchey as shawn.

soccerfreakjj10 · Dec 9, 2007

I have to side with mike here. It is an appropriate response for shawn's stupidity...

I am very happy they changed the swearing rule, in the words of that one dude with the tape on his mouth, "who are [they] to be the moral police?"

Goldog · Dec 9, 2007

But can you say STFU?

Crummy · Dec 9, 2007

I would have liked to have seen them thrown down! lol Just to see who would win. Maybe they should set up a High Stakes Boxing match between the two.

Negreanu vs Harman? He doesn't stand a chance.

Reg the OP, they should not have been given the same penalty. The punishment should fit the crime.

I remember this classic moment very clearly.Mike was in the right 100%.

Funny thing is I still have to remind people online from time to time not to be typing stuff like "Damn!I just folded the nut flush" when people are still in the hand.I don't mind them giving me free info,but wait till the f***in hand is over!
