The one and only “Couch Slouch” Norman Chad

Yeah I quit watching poker when they stopped getting drunk and yelling at each other, now I watch the kardashians, all the drama and none of the stupid cards!!!

What's missing now ??

@@pokerboy72 now it's just a bunch of gto nerds running charts through their brain. Good for them a computer is better than a human at poker but for tv entertainment purposes its very boring to watch.

Facts

@@pokerboy72 whats wrong?no one wants to watch a bunch of soulless awkward nerds playing poker on TV

Internet poker ruined it

Now it's full of weenie whiners that want to tattle on each other because someone hurt their itty bitty whittle feelings

I love how free the announcers feel. This always made watching more fun

@Bi-polar Bear twas the golden age of poker

Poker was awesome in the early 2000s

You can't script his comic timing, the way he delivers the whole line with the laughing. It's one of my current favourite things on the whole of yt.

Agreed

I always found it hilarious how hes asking him that when he barely has a handful of chips and mike is sitting next to him with a huge chip stack.

It makes the whole thing 1000% better. The fight itself is just a fight but watching Sheikh's face turn red as Mike laughs at him is just gold. He was probably already on tilt with his short stack and Mike just sent him flying over the edge completely. Perfection.

He did not want to get punished for saying Fuck on the table maybe

He really did the big baby

Coat uncoat.

Well mike has actually cried multiple times will losing so suck on that buttercup

@@lafondawilliams Grow up

I miss falling asleep to these reruns late at night.

So true....now it is just table after table of bland mathemeticians

You right sheik needs the penalty

The ironic thing is that Matusow was in a hand with Phil [edit: Phil Hellmuth] and some 3rd person (don't remember his name) a few years ago. Mike ended up folding and it went to the river, and the other person jammed against Phil when a flush landed on the river. Mike said, "that's why I folded and made a flush on the river", essentially telling Phil that two extra flush cards were dead. In fact, the player who jammed only had one flush card - it was a bluff. Phil ended up folding but I would have been so mad if Phil had called due to the extra info. People suggested that Mike didn't do it on purpose, but this video makes it really clear that he knew exactly what he was doing. I think Phil and Mike had pieces of each other - that type of collusion is just intolerable.

@@iamamish Phil who?

@@argonthesad hellmuth

It was on an old Poker Hands video on Polk’s channel

@Little Oggie They're saying what they SHOULD'VE gotten.... learn how to read.

@Little Oggie And again you missed the point. We are very aware of the rules but quite honestly only a warning should've been given to Mike. You hear Phil Hellmuth swearing and cursing all the time and nothing ever happens to him. Not even warnings.

why? he didn't break any rules.

Yeah, the NBA will rescind technical fouls against players or coaches for yelling at the refs if it turns out the ref's call was wrong. Likewise Matusow should've been just given a warning since Sheikhan's behavior was wrong.

Why hasn't anyone made a meme of Mike saying nuts the second time

Man went out like a whole seagull

Lol!!

Indeed, the wsop is so stupid 😅

Totally agree. He got off lightly. Should've at least being a full round penalty. Depending on where the blinds were at that time it's possible he didn't lose any chips while on penalty.

@@XaviRonaldo0 He was definitely well out of line there. I guess as was Mike for dropping the F bomb but in terms of what was worse, 100% Sheik.

What is he saying to the crowd? I can't make it out

lol it was a silly question, Mike would have had to be a real donk to fold to such an insignificant raise from Sheikhan.

IMO, he wouldn't had gotten any penalty if didn't throw out that "f" bomb.

It's specifically the f word is against the rules

Told him to shut the fuck up, so it was a good decision by the floor

Truth for sure but I dont think they allow you to tell anyone to "shut the "F" up" so thats why there was a penalty for both. Either way this rivalry is wild lol.

shit society that cant handle "fuck"

Agreed.

Nice nickname. LoL

Haha yes!!! I remember that, it was hilarious.

Yeah. Sportsmaship! ❤️

Hes still bossing today. Ya love to see it

Should've been a more severe penalty on the Sheikh. Extremely inappropriate behaviour while the hand was still ongoing.

@@XaviRonaldo0 Mike's behaviour was even more inappropriate.

@@Mitjitsu he's not the one giving away hand info...

@@XaviRonaldo0 He spoke to him in a threatening and disrespectful manner, which could easily have escalated into physical violence.

Mike had a ton of chips if I remember correctly. When you're the chip leader and you have a lot of short stacks and each higher place is worth so much more, you're gonna double them up sometimes. You don't even necessarily care if you're the favorite, you just care that their tournament life is on the line. Ofc you have to be a monster chip leader to play that way, but 7-2 beats aces sometimes. It narrows their ranges and forces them to only play monsters into you because they know they are getting called. This allows you to pick up the ever rising blinds and Antes, and occasionally pick off a small stack.

Just a huge ego battle lol

Then the nerds took over.

Dude, he was 1000% right to do so. Sheikahn is an asshole. Disgusting human being in general.

He just didn’t have to curse that’s it, the tirade wasn’t why he was penalized

@@mypud4068 what are you saying

Yeah, they want it that way. Too bad! Not being allowed to even celebrate.

ESPN thought it was the POKER that was the catch, but it was the personalities. So now they are stuck airing dry poker. Im surprised the popularity hasnt tanked back down to where it was before the shows booms. Its not like poker is a new game or anything.

You cant show frustration when ur short, make a tough fold and see u woulda flopped the nuts? Meanwhile the Mouth can run his mouth uninterrupted?

@@MacGovernor if doesn't affect the game, yes.

If enough people pay for it, like I do, there is enough production money available to make more hsp and pad seasons. So yeah, let’s hope it brings it back. Already did.

Playing poker isn’t free, nothing in life is. If you’re whining about not being able to afford a PokerGO membership then step your game up. Poker isn’t dead, and PokerGO premium vids behind a paywall has 0 impact on game profitability

@@pattylopez566 it’s pretty simple. How the heck do they get the new generation to play poker if all the entertaining parts of poker is behind a pay way. Sure people in our 30s + will play but that’s where it ends. The next generation won’t play cause they don’t know and they don’t know cause it’s behind a pay wall. It’s a old mans game to them so it will die off eventually because of this yes.

@@pattylopez566 any big game in any major sports gets broadcasted on locals for everyone to watch. It’s not about being able to afford or not, it’s that it’s a terrible business decision

Back in the day, the free shows would promote the online sites. Now, with WSOP and WPT being the only legal sites, someone has to pay for the shows. Yeah it sucks...tell your congressman to change it.

JohnnyAppleseed that's basically what he's saying 🤦‍♂️

@JohnnyAppleseed Agreed. Floor manager put 2 loudmouths in their place

JohnnyAppleseed are you for real? What do you think he means by that statement then? It's not rocket science for gods sake, what a dumb response 🤦‍♂️

@JohnnyAppleseed Your comment was pretty dumb to be fair. You are disagreeing with him and agreeing with him in the same sentence. It's not the fault of others that you don't understand words.

JohnnyAppleseed your one strange little boy, I think you just like to argue so you chime in with no sense responses just to get an argument from someone. You would argue black was white and shite is any colour.

If only Israel could just win and tell Iran nuts...NUTS!!!

@@theTeflonDon1 I just came from the future to say that iran's president is "missing" and this is probably related to their crazy impulsive drone attack on israeli city.

Go to look videos with Tony g and Phil Hellmuth 😂

Oh man, your life sucks

@@sander5457 who knows you might be right

It was more like the double-handed "No, No, No" gesture. Just go take ur penalty.

I appreciate the storage war reference!

He’s a paki. It comes naturally

he should be deported back to sucky Iran

Wow wow wow i bet lost disagree lmao

Prahlad Friedman would like to have a word.

Hellmuth is pretty annoying, how could you forget him?

@@mpup54 sheik is definitely more annoying than Phil. At least Phil is entertaining to watch when he has a meltdown

Definitely the most satisfying elimination in WSOP history! :-Þ

Nah, that would be Justin Schwartz in the 2015 main event.

@@Moolers I think that one is a solid second from a piece of shit point of view,but I think this one wins because of Shawn's antics during play.

Yeah they were good friends. Shawn staked matusow on one of the seasons of high stakes poker. Matusow went broke bluffing into phil laaks flush and you can see how annoyed Shawn is in the background haha

Yeah Mike says "I was just having fun." Which hey, fair enough. Trash talking can be part of any competitive event.

I lived and played there in those days...it was pure electric magic every day

I think I saw a reach around and an offer of a happy ending later

@@mpup54 you have a filthy imagination sir.

dude seriously, this is prime time poker

Well he wasn't convicted, so it doesn't really tell you much. Unless you know something the jury/judge didn't.

@@JoeyRhubarb Bullshit.. ‘Sheikhan was arrested at his Las Vegas home on August 30, 2007 for violating his immigration status due to a 1995 conviction for misdemeanor sexual battery on a child under 18, where he served nine months in prison and 5 years probation. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actively searches for foreign nationals who were convicted of a sexual crime against children and then tries to get them deported. He was detained on an immigration hold for 1 week facing deportation proceedings however those proceedings have been since halted.’

PokerGo. I'm thinking about getting a subscription myself. I really miss this era of poker!

Amen brother

"Got some blow and ho back at the room tonight sheiky..."
