Family Dysfunction: Scott Matusow Calls Out Brother Mike as Gambling, Drug Addict
Two of the more colorful characters in the poker world, Mike and Scott Matusow, are apparently at odds, and it’s all taking place publicly a la Facebook.
TwoPlusTwo.com offered up the lively (and sometimes disturbing) chat between the two men.
'Look everyone, i showed u what i did to get Mike to face reality. he refuses to deal with his family and face any issue.. i would prefer NOT to make things public but our family has just had enough with his actions and lack of action.. nothing will get done privately, we have tried that.. we would rather it gets cut off like this so he can realize the damage he is doing to his own flesh and blood.. i dont do this for attention.. im damned pissed at his behavior, and if this is the way it has to be, so be it.. u dont know what its like until u REALLY KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE.. thanks'
Now here's some of the chat log's posted by Scott from Mike:

Then there was this – an open letter – from Scott Matusow appearing on Scott’s blog:
Mike, I have said what I have said, and done what I have done because I am sick of your disrespect, belittling your own family to impress strangers. Not only publicly have you said “Ivey is a piece of shit” which can be verified from old Quad Jacks podcasts, but you have told me that as well, that he messed up the FTP deal with his lawsuit. My blog did not attack Ivey in such a manner, but rather the type of character Ivey is, a degenerate. With all the problems in the world today, people being booted from their homes, being cheated, losing their jobs;
When I see people like Ivey and even you, blow wads of money like water, while others can’t even fucking eat, I find it disgusting and part of a lot of the problems we face in the world today. Excuse me for being an idealist and actually giving a shit about people.
I see you getting worse and worse with your gambling issues. We went out for our parents anniversary 2 weeks ago.. The entire time, all you could talk about was yourself, your bets, checking the scores on games. You do not consider how you hurt Mom and Dad with your behavior. You seem to enjoy to call Mom only to tell her when you lose, and you exaggerate your losses to her… That is sick Mike, do you enjoy upsetting our mother? If you were married and/or lived far away from us, and never bothered with us, then it is your life and you are entitled to live it any way you want. But when you go out of your way to insult and lie about me to people, when you decide to call Mom and Dad only WHEN YOU NEED SOMETHING, then it becomes my business, because I live on their property. I help manage their finances as well, so when you miss a mortgage payment on your home, It is my responsibility to find out what is going on because Mom and Dad are on the hook as the co signers.. They asked me to contact you over that.. But your answer to me was ” fuck you and your family”.. If that is the way you feel fine, STOP CALLING MOM AND DAD when you need something and leave us the fuck alone, and live your life. It is not my fault or anyone else’s that you hate yourself and you are a miserable because of, in my opinion, a severe gambling addiction on top of your addiction to legal drugs.
