August 13th Event

Where: Khyle's Garage O' Magic and Smoke-a-Torium
When: Saturday at 8:00 PM

The best players (and that ain't saying much) from Country Place and a few outlying areas will meet again for an evening of Poker mastery.

So far confirmed participants are as follows:

Ralph "Sausage King" Bachinger, self proclaimed poker master of Gold Finch. Although I think his Gold Finch neighbor, the curious kitty, might have more victories.

Paul "Numb Nuts" Clark, relative newbie who is currently tied with the Regulator in sanctioned event victories. Considered by some (who they are we aren't sure) to be a solid player, and likes his kodiac (Muskyboy likes his kodiac too).

Keith Halfman "Half Amazing" is a mutliple MPT champion. His strategy is generally to be all in with the worst hand and suck out his opponent.

Dave "Musky Boy" Hebeda is another multiple MPT champion but has been unable to score a big win this year. Reigning 2004 MPT champion (and has the $1 bracelet to prove it) likes to lose all his chips when having the best hand on the flop and getting sucked out on the turn or river.

Khyle "Magic Man" Keys averages 1 MPT tournament victory per year and then faulters most of the rest of the year. Generally a good bet to be out early.

Paul "The Regulator" Kravitz is the best regular to never win an MPT event (Paul Clark and Rob havn't been around enought yet to be considered a regular, maybe one more month). Of course every other regular has won at least once. Paul is a threat to lose with the best hand on the flop at any time.

John "Squeaky" Mcpherson best known for a monster bluff against Lucky PP and being fortunate to have two or three players all in in front of him when he holds the nuts. Made the walk of shame last month being out early.

Ken "Beginners Luck" Schmidt came in with a blaze of glory with two quick victories, talked up how easy it was and how easy it is to read the MPT players and has sucked ever since.

Rob "Dead Money" Thomsen currently holds no victories and will shortly be lumped in with the Regulator as a regular with no victories. Likes to call everything and likes to give his chips away.

Dan "Curious Kitty" McCandles a former champion who is willing to call you down with any hand. Doesn't bet doesn't raise, just likes to call and see what you have.

Notable Abscences are:

Paul "Doc" Brown - self proclaimed leading MPT money winner, uses the Halfman approach to accumulating chips. Favorite strategy is to bluff with crap hands get called and hit runner runner on the turn and river to win the hand.

Mike "Lucky PP" Leitza - similar to beginners luck in that he came in with a blaze of glory, yucked it up and has been one of the first players out in the last three games.

Favorite to win? Using the law of Averages the Regulator is the favorite.
