Latza fun at the Latza Casino and Foosball room

Mpt players battled it out Saturday at the Latza residence. 14 players braved the sub zero temps for a night of spectacular (urr umm maybe not) poker. Doc took down game one with some brutal bullying. I wonder if he will remember his win this morning? Sausage King took second and Dead Money playing his first tourney since his stunning year end championship victory took third. Dead Money was the height of fashion sporting his 2005 MPT bracelet. One of only two bracelet holders in the MPT. Muskyboy has one also, but seems to have misplaced his dollar store bracelet. Fourth place went to Tabitha and Halfman bubbled.

The Magic Man shocked the MPT world by actually showing up. It looks like Muskyboy's taunting had the desired affect, but alas the great Magic Man coming of his self proclaimed Vegas win (even though he didn't win he lost) was in normal form and got roughed up by the Regulator and then bounced out of the tourney by Muskyboy. Although, he did bring his A game as requested by Musky he still busted out in 10th. Then as only the Magic Man can do, he disappeared before game two started. It was heard around the poker table by several MPT regulars that due to the cold weather Khyle was getting a nasty draft up his skirt and he had to go home. Only the Magic Man knows for sure.

Game two was an interesting affair as game 1 winner Doc was struggling to count his chips and see his cards. His reckless play built him a large chip advantage early but he pissed it all away late. Jaime who was a bit on tilt in game one due to all the flush discussion came back strong in game two to take the victory. Squeaky squeaked his way into second and the Regulator finished third. Most MPT regulars where worried that he was on his way to his first MPT victory but things returned to normal as Reg busted out in third. No doubt to a bad beat (at least that is probably what he would tell you). Host "Calla" Latza finished 4th and in the money. I'm sure that covered all his expenses for the night. Newbie Ross made a strong showing in game two after finishing dead last in game one but was one short of the money. He did come back strong in the side game to pick up about $5.

So far through two events we have had 26 players.

In other news it was discussed and unanimously agreed too that the games going forward should start at 7:00 PM, so we will institute this next month when we invade Squeaky's house.

One other note, due to the fact that most of my evenings play was relegated to the loser table I didn't pay much attention to the main table game and as a result can't give much detail on the action.

I have found it.....

While sitting here watching the Pro Bowl I realized.....I would rather be playing Omaha, but there doesn't appear to be a game. Yes, the one thing in the world that I suspect is less exciting than Omaha....The Pro Bowl.
