Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, one of poker’s natural characters, was invited to hang out with PokerRoad’s own Scott Huff and Joe Sebok this week on their popular poker news and entertainment cable show Poker2Nite, and the resulting interview has not only made significant headlines in the poker media world but is now likely to be frequently mentioned throughout the entire 2010 World Series of Poker.

Matusow, never one afraid to give an opinion, was on the show promoting his poker instruction company DeepStacks University, when he was asked by Huff whether he believed this was indeed what many are now calling “The Year of the Woman”- due to numerous recent victories by such female stars as Vanessa Selbst, Annie Duke and Liv Boeree.  Surprisingly, despite his deep knowledge of the industry,  Mikey barely seemed to take the question seriously and in fact went so far as to assume the guys were kidding.  When pressed, and told that the World Series of Poker’s own Ty Stewart, believed there was a good chance that women will claim at least three bracelets at this year’s Series, Matusow disagreed so vehemently that he vowed to run naked down the strip if it happened- allowing cameras to follow him the whole way.

Besides creating an arguably disturbing image, Matusow’s naked freeroll offer- whether serious or not- has caught fire online since the show first aired this week and has now been written about on such well known sites as Poker News, Gambling 911, Poker News Daily, Bluff Europe, Part Time Poker, Wicked Chops Poker and in countless blogs, Facebook pages and Twitter posts.

Matusow, with three WSOP bracelets and over $7 Million in live tournament winnings, has been around the poker world long enough to know better than to offer up a freeroll  proposition on television if you’re not serious, but still you have got to wonder if even “The Mouth” truly understands, just what he’s gotten himself into this time.
