Poker pro Mike “The Mouth” Matusow tells CardPlayer.com he has finally recovered after the Full Tilt Poker shutdown and indictments of April 15, 2011.

Matusow said he’s feeling great personally all those living in the United States are still owed approximately $159 million from Full Tilt Poker.

Matusow last week won a World Series of Poker bracelet, his 4th.

CardPlayer asked if he considered 2013 a “comeback year”.

“You know, the truth of the matter is, I hear “comeback year” and…2010 I won the Florida State Poker Championship, which nobody talks about. I only played like three tournaments that year. 2011, I finished third in the Bay 101 Shooting Star, and last year I played only 13 events and final tabled two and cashed in five. People don’t realize how much I do with the little amount of tournaments I play. The thing is that I haven’t really…even last year I final tabled this tournament. I’ve been consistent. I just haven’t played that many tournaments. Still, this is my fourth tournament here. I played the NBC Heads-Up and one other, and I just happen to be on a little roll where I’m winner, winner…so I’m playing well.”
