Why is it bizarre? Him and jrb are well connected in the live poker scene in vegas and its probably just a gamble for the stackers to stake these two. Also they bring entertainment which is important in some live settings. And only because matusow was not the most succesfull tournament player does not mean he did not win huge in private cash games. Who knows?
I mean dont get me wrong i would never invest a cent in any of these two but its not that mind bogling that there are people out there who do.
