The poker world got some mainstream media coverage today when Mike "The Mouth" Matusow was profiled in the USA Today.

The Q&A article is part of a book promotion for The Mouth, who in his recently released Check-Raising the Devil writes about how he has dealt with mental illness throughout his poker career.

Matusow says about the book:

"It wasn't painful to write. I wanted to get a lot of stuff off my chest, things that I went through and things that happened to me so people can understand more or less that I'm a different person than they see on TV. Things can happen to people — you have to watch who you hang around with. But it was what it was."
